Summary: Stellantis partners with Chinese EV maker Leapmotor to build vehicles in European plants, with Ford considering similar deals. However, critics warn legacy carmakers risk losing long-term competitiveness by helping Chinese brands establish European footholds. BYD, meanwhile, prefers operating independently rather than through joint ventures.
Brands mentioned: Stellantis, BYD, Leapmotor, Opel, Ford, Geely
