De productie zou rond 2028 van start kunnen gaan in de fabriek in Zaragoza, Spanje.<\/p>\n<p>Dit kan wijzen op meer dan alleen maar een nieuwe modelsamenwerking. Het benadrukt hoe centraal Opel is geworden in het fragiele herstel van de groep in Europa na zware verliezen in verband met de strategie voor elektrische voertuigen.<\/p>\n<h4>Belangrijkste EV-architectuur<\/h4>\n<p>In het project zou de Chinese partner het onderliggende EV-platform leveren, inclusief elektrische architectuur, aandrijflijn en kernsoftware, waarschijnlijk afgeleid van de B-segment architectuur van Leapmotor die wordt gebruikt in zijn B10 model.<\/p>\n<p>Terwijl Opel zou instaan voor design en branding, een structuur die onderstreept hoe Europese autoconstructeurs steeds meer leunen op Chinese knowhow om kostenconcurrerend te blijven.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"107\" data-end=\"395\">Voor Stellantis is de timing cruciaal. De groep komt uit een moeilijke periode in 2025, gekenmerkt door tientallen miljarden euro's aan waardeverminderingen als gevolg van te optimistische aannames over EV's. Dit dwingt tot een strategische reset met een sterkere focus op hybrides en een strengere controle op de ontwikkelingskosten.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"397\" data-end=\"810\">Tegen die achtergrond zijn de gesprekken met <span class=\"hover:entity-accent entity-underline inline cursor-pointer align-baseline\"><span class=\"whitespace-normal\">Schrikkelmotor<\/span><\/span> zijn geen conventionele partnerschappen, maar komen voort uit een veel nauwere relatie. Stellantis is al de grootste aandeelhouder van Leapmotor buiten China en heeft een speciale joint venture opgezet, <span class=\"hover:entity-accent entity-underline inline cursor-pointer align-baseline\"><span class=\"whitespace-normal\">Schrikkelmotor Internationaal<\/span><\/span>, om haar voertuigen wereldwijd te verkopen. Dit geeft de groep bevoorrechte toegang tot de platformen en technologie van Leapmotor.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"812\" data-end=\"1161\">Daarom gaan projecten zoals de geplande Opel SUV evenzeer over het benutten van die bestaande industri\u00eble en financi\u00eble band als over technologie.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"812\" data-end=\"1161\">Hierdoor kan Stellantis beproefde EV-architecturen hergebruiken tegen aanzienlijk lagere kosten en risico's, waardoor de samenwerking een hulpmiddel wordt voor financi\u00eble discipline en een kortere weg naar concurrentiekracht.<\/p>\n<h4>Het herstel is begonnen<\/h4>\n<p>Recente cijfers suggereren dat het herstel is begonnen, althans in Europa. Stellantis zei dat het in het eerste kwartaal van 2026 bijna 697.000 voertuigen verkocht in de EU30, een stijging van 5% op jaarbasis, terwijl het marktaandeel steeg tot 17,5%.<\/p>\n<p>De groep overtrof de algemene markt, die groeide met 3,7%, en was de enige top tien autofabrikant die marktaandeel won tijdens de periode. De verbetering volgt echter op twee opeenvolgende jaren van dalende Europese verkopen, wat betekent dat de opleving nog steeds op een relatief zwakke basis rust en zich nog moet vertalen in een duidelijk herstel van de winstgevendheid.<\/p>\n<p>Binnen dat Europese plaatje, <span class=\"hover:entity-accent entity-underline inline cursor-pointer align-baseline\"><span class=\"whitespace-normal\">Opel<\/span><\/span> springt eruit als een belangrijke pijler. Hoewel het niet het grootste merk van Stellantis is, is het wel een van de vier belangrijkste volumedrijvers in Europa - naast Peugeot, Fiat en Citro\u00ebn - en is het goed voor ongeveer een vijfde van de regionale verkoop.<\/p>\n<p>Van cruciaal belang is dat het de aanwezigheid van de groep in Duitsland en Noord-Europa verankert en een centrale rol speelt in markten met een grote vloot, zoals Belgi\u00eb, waardoor het een belang heeft dat verder gaat dan zijn pure volume.<\/p>\n<p>Opel en zijn Britse zustermerk Vauxhall boekten een dubbelcijferige verkoopgroei in het eerste kwartaal, gesteund door een solide vraag naar modellen zoals de Mokka, Grandland en de onlangs gelanceerde Frontera.<\/p>\n<h4>Duitsland en Belgi\u00eb zijn de kernmarkten<\/h4>\n<p>Duitsland blijft de kernmarkt van Opel, maar het belang van Opel strekt zich uit over belangrijke Europese landen, waaronder Belgi\u00eb, waar het merk een breed dealernetwerk heeft en een stevige positie in het compacte en middelgrote segment.<\/p>\n<p>In markten zoals Belgi\u00eb, waar bedrijfswagens en vlootverkopen een grote rol spelen, is het vermogen van Opel om scherp geprijsde ge\u00eblektrificeerde modellen aan te bieden cruciaal voor het totale marktaandeel van Stellantis.<\/p>\n<p>Dat is precies waar de potenti\u00eble samenwerking met Leapmotor van doorslaggevend belang zou kunnen zijn. Door gebruik te maken van een goedkoper EV-platform dat in China ontwikkeld werd, zou Stellantis de ontwikkelingscycli kunnen verkorten en de productiekosten verlagen, wat de concurrentiekracht van Opels toekomstige elektrische line-up zou verbeteren op een moment dat Europese fabrikanten onder zware druk staan van Chinese invoer.<\/p>\n<p>De stap weerspiegelt ook een bredere verschuiving in de strategie. Stellantis vertrouwt niet alleen op zijn eigen platformen, maar lijkt steeds meer open te staan voor de integratie van externe technologie\u00ebn als die een duidelijk economisch voordeel bieden. Als deze aanpak wordt uitgebreid tot meer dan \u00e9\u00e9n model, zou het uiteindelijk kunnen leiden tot een bredere reeks voertuigen voor verschillende merken van de groep.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Several sources reported that Stellantis is in talks with China to develop a new electric SUV for Opel based on Leapmotor&#8217;s\u00a0technology, with production potentially starting around 2028 at its Zaragoza plant in Spain.
