Leapmotor reduces its BEV prices by around 10% in the UK
Leapmotor says the 'Leap-grant' reductions are immediately available on its China-built models and are ahead of the UK government's new BEV grants which will be introduced shortly (full details on implementation still unclear). Effectively, they come into effect a few weeks before the UK gov grants apply and act as a temporary pre-grants discount.

From 18th July, the brand says it is is flipping the switch with its own self-funded EV grant – offering up to £3,750 off its electric car range immediately. That makes the T03 5-door electric city car available at just £14,495 OTR (on the road), and the C10 family SUV available from £32,750 OTR – both available with 0% APR finance.
Leapmotor says the move gives its buyers clarity and savings now, while the government scheme still remains to kick in for UK car buyers.
'Our mission is to help make the leap to electric cars easy for UK drivers,' said Damien Dally, Managing Director, Leapmotor UK. 'We've decided to act now because we want to give customers clarity, confidence, and immediate savings – and make the switch to electric a simple choice.'
The Leapmotor T03 is a compact electric city car which offers up to 165 miles range (WLTP), rapid DC charging, 10 ADAS features and many premium touches as standard, including a panoramic sunroof, adaptive cruise control, rear parking camera with sensors, keyless start, and 10.1″ touchscreen.
The C10 is described by Leapmotor as a spacious, tech-rich, large electric family SUV offering up to 263 miles of range (WLTP). It comes with premium features such as a panoramic sunroof, 360-degree camera, heated steering wheel and seats, 12-speaker audio and dual HD displays.
The C10 also comes with intelligent ambient lighting, vehicle-to-load (V2L) charging, a heat pump, power tailgate and a five-star Euro NCAP rating with multiple advanced driver assistance systems.
Furthermore, every Leapmotor vehicle is backed by a 'comprehensive four-year warranty', while the battery is covered by a separate eight-year guarantee, it says.
Leapmotor International is Stellantis-led JV company – with a 51/49 ownership split between Stellantis and China-based Leapmotor.

€78m deal is Liverpool's DREAM come true
Liverpool are set to strike a €78m deal. It's a dream come true and exactly what the Reds needed. Liverpool have found a few deals this summer that are still incredible to think about. Florian Wirtz's record-breaking arrival remains the peak, of course. LFC x New Era Shop Now LFC Signed Merch Shop Now LFC x Titleist Shop Now Wirtz cost Liverpool more than any other player in their history, arriving for around £100m guaranteed. That could well rise to a British transfer record if add-ons are met. The Jeremie Frimpong deal feels like a steal, too. He's joined for under £30m and fixes a few problems in the squad. One of those problems was created by Trent Alexander-Arnold leaving for Real Madrid. Still, Liverpool turned that into a remarkable deal - £10m for a player who wouldn't actually play for the club again. Jarell Quansah joined Bayer Leverkusen for a sizeable fee in another brilliant deal. Liverpool retain a buyback clause for the defender so if he does reach his remarkable potential, the Reds can buy him back. Everything has been going Liverpool's way this summer, then. And now another deal can be added to that list. Liverpool to strike Luis Diaz deal Fabrizio Romano is one of many saying that a deal between Liverpool and Bayern Munich for Luis Diaz is now close. He says this one's at the final stages, with only details being sorted. Now, Romano claims the fee here is around €75m. Sky Sports suggest it's slightly higher at around €78m. And this is a fantastic deal for Liverpool. It's a large fee - one of the largest received for a Red - and it's for someone approaching 29 with two years remaining on his contract. Diaz wasn't going to sign a new deal, either, after negotiations broke down. His asking price would have plummeted in a year as a result of that - Liverpool needed to get this one done now.

Cranswick says review ‘well advanced' after pig farm abuse claims
Meat giant Cranswick has said an independent review into its animal welfare policies and procedures is 'well advanced' following abuse claims at a pig farm run by the business earlier this year. The boss of the company added that it has strengthened its animal welfare practices and checks further in recent months as a result. Cranswick suspended using Northmoor Farm in Lincolnshire in May after covert footage emerged appearing to show workers at the site abusing piglets. Workers were filmed appearing to hold piglets by their hind legs and slamming them to the ground, using a banned method of killing the animals known as 'piglet thumping'. Major supermarkets Asda, Morrisons, Sainsbury's and Tesco suspended Northmoor Farm as a supplier, and Cranswick shortly afterwards launched the independent review into its animal welfare policies and livestock operations. Adam Couch, chief executive of the firm, said: 'In line with the commitments we made on May 20, we have further strengthened our animal welfare compliance practices and checks. 'The independent expert veterinarian led review of these policies and procedures is well advanced, and we look forward to receiving its recommendations. 'We will provide a further update on this review in due course.' The update on Monday came as the East Yorkshire-based company also revealed that revenues grew by 9.7% over the 13 weeks to June 28, after a boost from the acquisition of sausage maker Blakemans and export growth. Like-for-like revenues grew by 7.9% as it was also boosted new business wins and a strong performance from its 'premium added-value ranges'. Export revenues were 'strong' on the back of higher volumes and pricing after the China export licence for its Norfolk fresh pork site was reinstated late last year. Poultry revenues also grew strongly, while its pet products revenues grew after rolling out more products for Pets at Home. Cranswick said it is currently on track to meet it financial expectations for the current financial year. Mr Couch added: 'We have made a strong start to the year, delivering volume-led revenue growth across all product categories. 'Our continued positive progress reflects the substantial ongoing investment in our asset base and the quality and capability of our colleagues across the business.'
