Grosvenor
Partnership opens up exciting brand to customers
Grosvenor, the UK’s largest privately-owned contract hire and fleet management specialist, based in Kettering, has announced a new partnership with local dealer York Ward & Rowlatt to provide customers with instant access to the new brand of Leapmotor electric vehicles (EVs). This collaboration will make Leapmotor’s T03 and C10 models
available on both Personal Contract Hire (PCH) and Business Contract Hire (BCH) agreements. Wellingborough-based York Ward & Rowlatt, founded in 1841
and, operating from a 4.5-acre site, will be the supply partner for Grosvenor’s customers. T rough this new agreement, Grosvenor will establish the fl eet terms, and York Ward & Rowlatt will supply the Leapmotor vehicles, ensuring a seamless and effi cient process for clients. Lee Brown, managing director of Grosvenor, said: “T is is a
great opportunity for us to bring an exciting, reliable EV brand to our customers. T is partnership allows us to source the ideal vehicles for fl eets or personal contract hire customers that off er exceptional value for money while being fi t for purpose. “T ese 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 off er our customers the latest vehicles at aff ordable prices, which is essential in this day and age.”
Leapmotor, a new entrant to the UK market, was founded in 2015 and is focused on providing aff ordable electric mobility. T e brand’s T03 and C10 vehicles feature high levels of technology and specifi cation as standard, with a single, streamlined trim level for each model. Leapmotor’s UK debut is part of a joint venture with Stellantis,
the parent company of iconic brands such as Vauxhall, Peugeot and Fiat. T is partnership leverages Stellantis’ century of experience in the UK market, with York Ward & Rowlatt being one of over 40 retailers nationwide ready to support the brand’s growth. Leapmotor announced its own self-funded Leap-Grant to
provide a discount to customers, as its vehicles, like some other Chinese-made EVs, are not expected to qualify for the new government-backed grant due to environmental standards of production facilities. T e introduction of this grant has already seen a surge in interest and sales at dealerships like York Ward & Rowlatt. Dan Robinson, Franchise Director at York Ward & Rowlatt, said:
“We saw a fl urry of interest in the showroom when Leapmotor announced their self-funded Leap-Grant discount. T ere was a fantastic buzz in the dealership, and I think when the price is right, people are willing to take the plunge into EVs. “We are delighted with this new arrangement with Grosvenor. As a new brand in the UK, this partnership gives Leapmotor a signifi cant presence in the fl eet sector, and we expect to fulfi l many deals and boost their presence as one of the most reliable EV brands on the market to date.”
