In the first half of 2026, China's total automotive exports reached 5.31 million units, including 2.42 million new energy vehicle exports, a year-on-year increase of 70%. The image shows Leapmotor's B10 and C10 global models at the 2026 Indonesia International Motor Show.

Statistical data shows that in the first half of 2026, China's total automotive exports reached 5.31 million units, a year-on-year increase of 53%; among them, new energy vehicle exports reached 2.42 million units, a year-on-year increase of 70%, further consolidating China's position as the world's number one automotive exporting country.

On the one hand, geopolitical risks have driven up global oil prices, enhancing the competitiveness of Chinese new energy vehicles; on the other hand, the continuous expansion of the 'Global South' markets has prompted Chinese automakers to rush to accelerate their overseas layouts. For Leapmotor Motors, aiming to challenge the annual sales milestone of 1 million units, the July results further validate the effectiveness of the domestic and international dual-wheel drive.

It is understood that Leapmotor delivered 101,267 units in the domestic market in July, doubling year-on-year, becoming the first new force automaker to break the 100,000 units monthly sales mark. In the first half of this year, Leapmotor's cumulative sales reached 356,487 units, a year-on-year increase of about 97%, making it the only new force brand to break the 300,000 units sales milestone in the first half of this year. Models such as A10, B Series, C10, and D19 bloomed in multiple points, consolidating Leapmotor's growth foundation.

Recently, Leapmotor showcased its two global models, Leapmotor B10 and C10, at the 2026 Indonesia International Motor Show and officially announced its entry into the Indonesian market. Leapmotor also jointly announced with the Indonesian Indomobil Group the official launch of localized KD assembly production in Indonesia. Through deep cooperation with PT National Assemblers under the Indomobil Group, Leapmotor achieved a leap from product output to localized whole industry chain layout. As of now, Leapmotor has formed a dual manufacturing base layout in Malaysia and Indonesia, becoming one of the few Chinese new energy brands with dual KD capacity in Southeast Asia.

Some analysts believe that China's new energy vehicle industry has currently formed a development pattern of 'domestic scaling as a bottom line, global expansion adding volume', and neither aspect should be neglected. For example, Leapmotor's breakthrough of 100,000 units in monthly sales marks that new force automakers have officially entered the volume tier of mainstream automakers. Industry competition has shifted from single-product comparison to a long-term contest of comprehensive systems including supply chain, self-developed manufacturing, and channel services.

In recent years, Chinese new energy vehicles going global have bid farewell to simple whole vehicle exports, shifting to a new stage of 'technology export + local factory construction + ecosystem co-building'. It is understood that relying on the three-party synergy with Stellantis and the Indonesian Indomobil Group, Leapmotor adopts a brand co-store sales model, leveraging local mature distribution networks. The plan is to complete 50 service outlets in Indonesia by the end of the year, covering the full pre-sales and after-sales chain. In fact, localized production not only avoids import tariffs and shortens delivery cycles but also drives local employment and supporting industry chain upgrades, aligning with the policy orientation of ASEAN countries to cultivate their local new energy industries. As of now, Leapmotor's overseas business covers more than 40 countries and regions globally, with over 2,000 stores, and global cumulative deliveries have broken through 1.5 million units. Southeast Asian localized manufacturing will become a key fulcrum for its global expansion.

"Practice proves that Leapmotor is becoming a typical sample of new energy vehicle companies with the 'domestic scaling, global localization' dual-wheel drive." Independent auto analyst Bai De believes that on the one hand, the domestic market is responsible for 'revenue generation, training, building industry chains', and on the other hand, the international market is responsible for 'expansion, setting standards, sharing risks'. Only by making good use of the domestic and international market dual-wheel drive can Chinese new energy vehicles consolidate their global leading advantages and achieve high-quality development of the automotive industry.

Bai De emphasized that on the basis of achieving scaled growth, Chinese new energy vehicles must continue to invest in technological innovation. It is revealed that Leapmotor will hold a Technology Day in September 2026, upgrade the world model intelligent driving system, and achieve universal implementation of high-level intelligent driving with low computing power.

As more Chinese automakers adhere to technology-based enterprise development, delve into cutting-edge self-developed technologies, perfect product matrices, and promote localized industry layouts, China's new energy industry's global competitive advantage will continue to be consolidated, and the process of Chinese automotive industry upgrading and global green transportation transformation will also accelerate further.
