Stellantis Italy opens orders for Leapmotor T03 electric LCV with 256 km range

With a clear push toward sustainable urban logistics, Stellantis has introduced a compact electric solution tailored for professional use. On April 8, Stellantis Italy officially opened orders for the new Leapmotor T03 electric LCV, targeting businesses operating in dense city environments. Designed with practicality in mind, the vehicle combines compact exterior proportions with an optimized cargo layout, making it suitable for last-mile delivery and urban service operations.

Compact design with practical cargo capacity

The Leapmotor T03 electric LCV is engineered to deliver efficient cargo handling within a small footprint. It offers a cargo volume of up to 657 litres, making it suitable for light commercial applications where maneuverability and space utilization are critical. Its compact dimensions allow easier navigation through congested city streets, while the interior cargo configuration ensures usability for professional operators. This positions the vehicle as a viable solution within the growing urban logistics ecosystem.

Electric powertrain and driving range

The vehicle is powered by a fully electric drivetrain, offering a driving range of up to 256 km on a single charge. This range is aligned with daily operational needs for intra-city logistics, reducing dependency on frequent charging cycles. The electric configuration supports emissions-free driving, contributing to regulatory compliance and sustainability goals across European markets. With increasing adoption of electric vehicles, such offerings strengthen the transition toward cleaner transportation systems.

Dual-country production and conversion process

The production strategy involves an international workflow beginning in China, where the vehicle is initially manufactured in an incomplete T03 N1 configuration. This version excludes rear seating components such as seats and seat belts. The semi-finished units are then transported to the Mirafiori plant in Italy, where the final transformation into a light commercial vehicle is carried out through a structured and standardized process.

Final assembly and compliance at Mirafiori

At the Mirafiori facility, the vehicle undergoes final assembly steps including installation of a partition wall and specialized cargo area liners. These modifications ensure the vehicle meets N1 homologation standards required for commercial usage. The process reflects Stellantis’ approach to combining global manufacturing efficiency with localized compliance and customization. Once completed, the vehicles are distributed to dealerships, ready for deployment in professional applications across urban markets.
