In August 2026, the estimated wholesale sales of new energy passenger vehicles in China were 1.51 million units, a 16% increase year-over-year and a 4% increase month-on-month. Against this backdrop, Leapmotor achieved wholesale sales of 103,100 units, reaching 100,000 units for the second consecutive month, surpassing Tesla China to rank fourth in the market. By expanding its product line with four series—A, B, C, and D—Leapmotor has covered a range from entry-level models to mainstream household vehicles and high-priced segments, breaking away from dependence on a single popular model. In terms of competitive landscape, Geely Auto ranked second with 173,700 units, while Chery Auto rose to third with 115,600 units. The new energy sales of all three leading groups exceeded 100,000 units, marking the entry of industry competition into a group-based stage.
Luo Chuan has achieved monthly sales of over 100,000 units through its self-developed and self-produced products as well as platform-based strategies, and has established manufacturing capabilities that can be utilized externally. Its core strategy is to increase the self-production rate of key components such as electric drives and batteries to approximately 65%, reducing the cost per unit of electric drive by about 50 yuan by minimizing supply chain transit steps. At the same time, relying on high automation rates (such as 90% for module lines) and a universal platform (with a 88% universalization rate), it has optimized its cost structure while ensuring quality. Currently, Luo Chuan has established 18 component factories, covering areas such as five-electric systems and vehicle lights. This not only supports its continuous profitability but also provides component supplies to more than ten car companies including Stellantis and FAW, forming a dual-driven model of “complete vehicles + Tier 1 suppliers”.
