LDV Maxus

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The MAXUS is a van model produced by LDV Limited. It was launched in late 2004. The model was jointly developed by LDV and Daewoo Motor, prior to Daewoo entering receivership in 2000, in a five year, Pds. 500 million development programme. Following General Motors' acquisition of Daewoo, LDV secured the exclusive rights to the vehicle, purchased the tooling and moved it from Daewoo's plant in Poland to the LDV site in Birmingham. Since 2005 the vehicle has received good reviews and has sold well across the UK. The van is being used on fleet basis by companies such as Transco, Royal Mail and various UK police services. The van is also very popular in the hire market. LDV was acquired in 2006 by the Russian automotive giant GAZ and there are plans to start production of the MAXUS in one of GAZ's Russian factories by 2010. Not long after its launch the LDV MAXUS was awarded the Professional Van and Light Truck Magazine "Van of the Year 2005" and has since won several further awards including "Van of the Year", "Minibus of the Year" and "Combi of the Year".
