Small, fast electrostar: Leap engine T03 conquers the cities!

Deutschland - The automotive world receives a new player: Together with Leap engine, Stellantis presented the T03 model, a fully electric small car that is particularly suitable for urban environments. The T03 is the first step of a planned cooperation between the two automobile manufacturers who want to expand their models in Europe. At a maximum speed of 130 km/h, the T03 is not only suitable for the city, but also offers a safe driving experience on country roads.

The T03 comes with a battery capacity of 37.3 kWh and a range of up to 265 km, which can be achieved under ideal conditions. The price for this electric vehicle begins at € 19,090, which makes it an attractive offer for buyers who are looking for an affordable electric car. With its compact dimensions of 3.62 m in length, 1.577 m in width and 1.652 m in height, the vehicle is optimally designed for urban conditions.

technical details and equipment

On the technical side, the Leap engine T03 convinces with an output of 70 kW (95 hp) and a maximum torque of 158 Nm. This driving experience is supported by a modern infotainment system that includes a 10.1-inch touchscreen and an 8.6-inch LCD display. Other equipment details include adaptive cruise control, automatic air conditioning and a panoramic roof structure. The safety equipment includes driver assistance systems such as a lane departure assistant as well as a robust body structure made of high -strength steel.

The T03 also offers a practical loading volume of 210 to 880 liters, which also predestines it for the transport of luggage in the city. According to media.stellantis.com, the vehicle is equipped with various driving modes, including ECO, sports and standard, which ensures flexibility under different driving conditions. In addition, the vehicle can be charged at various charging stations with type 2 and CCS2 loading connections, with the DC charging time from 30% to 80%.

energy infrastructure in Germany

The introduction of the Leap engine T03 could give a new impetus for growing electromobility in Germany. The status of the charging infrastructure in Germany has now risen to 123,449 public charging points, including 25,233 quick charging stations, as can be seen from the current surveys of [virta.global] (https://www.virta.global/de/aktuelle-trends-und-prognosen- Furomobilitat-in-Germany). This has shown a significant increase in loading points since 2017, which have increased by 34%.

The federal government has set itself the goal of providing over a million charging points by 2030. In order to achieve these goals and to meet the need for electrical energy, sales potential of around 7 billion euros will be forecast by 2030. These developments are particularly relevant when you consider that the charging infrastructure in urban areas such as Berlin and Hamburg has a high density at loading points, which favored the use of vehicles such as the Leap motor T03.
