Leapmotor Ireland has announced the appointment of Dan Seaman Motors, Forge 
Hill, Co. Cork, as the second official franchise dealer for Leapmotor in Ireland. 
Leapmotor Ireland will announce further Dealer franchise appointments in the 
coming weeks. The Leapmotor compact T03 and family SUV C10 models will be 
available starting this October. 
 
Stephen McGrath, Brand Manager at Leapmotor Ireland, commented: “We are

Founded in 1985 by Dan Seaman, Dan Seaman Motors is a proudly family-run 
dealership serving Cork for over 40 years. In 2002, the business relocated from Cork 
City to a spacious, modern two-story showroom in Forge Hill, offering a premium 
experience for customers. 
The dealership represents four Stellantis sister brands (Alfa Romeo, Fiat, Fiat 
Professional, and Jeep) providing a wide selection of quality vehicles. Dan Seaman 
Motors has built a strong reputation for service and aftersales care, with a 
commitment to customer satisfaction and family values that continues to drive the 
success of this trusted Cork dealership. The arrival of Leapmotor marks an exciting 
new era for the dealership. 
 
Ger Seaman, Dealer Principal at Dan Seaman Motors, said: “Being entrusted with 
the Leapmotor brand is a proud moment for us. We are genuinely excited to 
introduce the people of Cork to a new era of electric mobility, bringing cutting-edge 
technology and exceptional value to our customers.” 
 
The arrival of Dan Seaman Motors as a Leapmotor franchise dealer represents a key 
evolution of the brand’s vision to provide Irish drivers with value, quality, and next- 
generation electric mobility options. Launching in Ireland this October, 
the Leapmotor T03 and versatile C10 models will be available through Gowan Auto’s 
established retail network, promising a personal and professional sales and aftersales 
experience. The new B10 SUV, unveiled recently and featuring at IAA Mobility in 
Munich, will follow swiftly. 
 
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.
