Founder and CEO Zhu: We receive the fruits of product development and marketing efforts
According to Leapmotor’s founder, chairman, and CEO Zhu Jiangming, the financial data regarding the third quarter of 2022 shows the results of the company’s product development and marketing efforts. Despite external supply chain issues, the company achieved a record-high quarterly delivery. Thanks to the C11 and C01 models’ rising popularity in the Chinese market, Leapmotor’s vehicles’ average selling price and gross margin significantly increased throughout the reporting period, according to Zhu.
Leapmotor supplied 35,608 automobiles between July and September, an increase of 186% from the same period last year. The company’s sales network has grown to 490 outlets across 156 locations as of September 30, 2022.
