Leapmotor Ireland is proud to announce the appointment of Joe Norris Motors, Navan, Co. Meath, as the first official Retail Partner for Leapmotor in Ireland. This marks a significant milestone as Leapmotor embarks on its journey to bring accessible, innovative electric vehicles to Irish motorists, with the highly anticipated T03 and C10 models arriving this October.
Business Development Manager at Leapmotor Ireland, Yvonne Sweeney commented: “We are delighted to welcome Joe Norris Motors as the inaugural Leapmotor Retail Partner in Ireland. Their outstanding reputation for quality, customer care, and genuine community focus makes them an ideal representative for the Leapmotor brand.”
She continued: “Together, we will ensure that Irish motorists benefit from best-in-class EV technology, unbeatable value, and exceptional service as we lead the transition to zero-emissions motoring.”
Founded in 1986 by the late Joe Norris, whose long-standing association with the Renault brand in County Meath dated back to 1962, Joe Norris Motors has an exceptional legacy of service and commitment to Irish motorists. As demand grew, the dealership relocated to its current, spacious, state-of-the-art facility on Kentstown Road to better serve the growing needs of its customers. In 2020, Joe Norris Motors became the main Peugeot dealer for County Meath, offering a comprehensive range of passenger and commercial vehicles and establishing itself as a trusted community partner. The arrival of Leapmotor marks a significant “Leap Forward” for Joe Norris Motors, ushering in an exciting new era for the dealership.
Pieter Van Der Linde, Dealer Principal at Joe Norris Motors, said: “Joining Leapmotor at the start of its Irish journey is an exciting and proud moment for the dealership. We look forward to bringing Leapmotor’s innovative, feature-rich electric vehicles to our customers and to being at the forefront of sustainable mobility in County Meath and beyond.”
The arrival of Leapmotor’s first Retail Partner represents a core part of the brand’s vision to provide Irish drivers with exceptional value, quality, and cutting-edge electric mobility. Launching in Ireland this October, Leapmotor’s debut T03 and versatile C10 models will be available across Ireland through Gowan Auto’s existing, well-established retail network, offering Irish drivers an exceptional sales and aftersales service.
Leapmotor is a strategic partnership between Stellantis, one of the world’s largest mobility companies, and Leapmotor, one of the leading, and fastest-growing, electric vehicle brands globally.
Gowan Auto, National Importer for Leapmotor in Ireland, is the exclusive importer and distributor of Stellantis brands in Ireland including Alfa Romeo, Citroën, DS, Fiat, Fiat Professional, Jeep, Opel, and Peugeot, together with Honda. The addition of Leapmotor to the Gowan Auto portfolio will offer Irish electric vehicle customers an even wider choice in terms of value and technology.
Leapmotor Ireland proudly welcomes Joe Norris Motors as its inaugural Retail Partner and will announce further Dealer franchise appointments in the coming weeks.
