Leapmotor has announced two innovative technology platforms during its 2026 Tech Day event in Hangzhou: the LEAP 5.0 New Mobile Space Architecture and the CTC 3.0 High-Low Fusion Battery. Both are set to feature in their new vehicle lineup launching in 2027.
Key Highlights:
-
CTC 3.0 Battery:
- This technology eliminates the traditional 12-volt lead-acid battery, a component used for over 70 years.
- It provides a sevenfold increase in low-voltage capacity, matching the performance of conventional 12-volt batteries.
- Both high and low voltage functions utilize the same cells and modules, offering a maintenance-free solution for the vehicle’s lifespan.
- Leapmotor estimates that this could significantly reduce the production of lead-acid batteries and minimize owner servicing needs.
-
LEAP 5.0 Architecture:
- Integrates the air-conditioning system with a rear-mounted powertrain, optimizing cabin space.
- Increases cabin length by 19% and reduces part count by 18%.
- New vertical shock absorber layout enhances front-row legroom by 37.5%, and the skateboard chassis design boosts interior height by 63.7%.
Leapmotor’s upcoming models equipped with these technologies are anticipated to be unveiled in 2027, promising a bold shift in EV design and functionality.
