Grosvenor’s Affordable Leapmotor EVs for Fleet Deals

Hello, Champions of Net Zero!

In an exciting development for electric vehicle enthusiasts and environmentally conscious consumers alike, Grosvenor has joined forces with local dealer York Ward & Rowlatt to bring Leapmotor’s innovative electric vehicles directly to customers across the UK. This partnership marks a significant step towards enhancing the accessibility of electric mobility solutions, demonstrating a shared commitment to sustainability and the promotion of clean transportation alternatives.

Grosvenor is now offering Leapmotor’s sleek T03 and C10 models through both personal and business contract hire agreements. This collaboration is set to revolutionise the way customers experience electric vehicles, providing immediate access to two of the most promising models in the market.

Under this strategic agreement, Wellingborough-based York Ward & Rowlatt will serve as the supply partner for Grosvenor’s clientele. Grosvenor will establish the fleet terms, while York Ward & Rowlatt will supply the vehicles, ensuring clients enjoy seamless access to these cutting-edge electric cars.

Lee Brown, the managing director of Grosvenor, expressed his enthusiasm for the partnership, noting the opportunity it presents to introduce a dependable and exciting EV brand to their contract hire and fleet management customers. “This partnership allows us to source the ideal vehicles for fleets or personal contract hire customers that offer exceptional value for money while being fit for purpose,” he elaborated. “These cars are stylish and drive well, and having access to them should prove advantageous as the brand becomes more popular in the UK. We’re delighted to be able to offer our customers the latest vehicles at affordable prices, which is essential in this day and age.”

Leapmotor, a Chinese brand established in 2015, is dedicated to providing affordable electric mobility solutions. Its vehicles, including the T03 and C10, boast high levels of technology and specification as standard, featuring a streamlined trim level for each model. This focus on quality and accessibility aligns perfectly with Grosvenor’s mission to promote sustainable transport options.

The introduction of Leapmotor to the UK market earlier this year is part of a joint venture with Stellantis, the parent company of well-known fleet brands such as Vauxhall, Peugeot, and Fiat. This collaboration leverages Stellantis’ extensive experience in the UK market, with York Ward & Rowlatt being one of over 40 dealers nationwide ready to support Leapmotor’s growth. This partnership not only enhances Leapmotor’s visibility but also reinforces the brand’s commitment to quality and reliability in the electric vehicle sector.

Dan Robinson, franchise director at York Ward & Rowlatt, highlighted the significance of this partnership in establishing Leapmotor’s presence within the fleet sector. “As a new brand in the UK, this partnership gives Leapmotor a significant presence in the fleet sector, and we expect to fulfil many deals and boost their presence as one of the most reliable EV brands on the market to date,” he stated. This sentiment reflects the growing confidence in Leapmotor as a formidable player in the electric vehicle landscape.

Interest in Leapmotor’s models has surged following the announcement of the self-funded ‘Leap-Grant’ aimed at providing discounts to customers. Although these vehicles, like many other Chinese-made EVs, may not qualify for the new government-backed Electric Car Grant, the introduction of this in-house grant has already sparked a notable increase in demand. The innovative approach to pricing demonstrates Leapmotor’s commitment to making electric vehicles more accessible to a broader audience.

Dan Robinson further noted the positive impact of the ‘Leap-Grant’ on customer interest, stating, “We saw a flurry of interest in the showroom when Leapmotor announced their self-funded ‘Leap-Grant’ discount. There was a fantastic buzz in the dealership, and I think when the price is right, people are willing to take the plunge into EVs.” This enthusiasm underscores a critical trend in the automotive industry: as electric vehicles become more affordable, consumers are increasingly open to embracing this sustainable mode of transport.

The partnership between Grosvenor and York Ward & Rowlatt, alongside Leapmotor’s innovative offerings, signals a promising future for electric vehicles in the UK. As more consumers consider switching to electric, the demand for reliable, stylish, and cost-effective options will only continue to grow. With Grosvenor’s commitment to providing exceptional value and York Ward & Rowlatt’s dedication to customer service, this collaboration is poised to play a significant role in the transition to a more sustainable transportation landscape.

As we move towards a net-zero future, initiatives like this are crucial in driving the adoption of electric vehicles. The collaboration between Grosvenor and Leapmotor exemplifies the kind of partnerships that are necessary to accelerate the shift from traditional petrol and diesel vehicles to cleaner, electric alternatives. By making electric mobility more accessible and appealing, we can collectively make strides towards achieving our environmental goals.

In conclusion, the partnership between Grosvenor and York Ward & Rowlatt not only showcases the growing interest in electric vehicles but also highlights the importance of collaboration in the automotive industry. As electric vehicles become increasingly popular, it is partnerships like these that will help shape the future of transportation. With the support of committed dealers and innovative brands like Leapmotor, we can look forward to a greener, more sustainable future on the roads.
