The award winning LDV MAXUS finished the year strongly with 407 vehicles registered in December, more than double the quantity sold in the corresponding period of 2005, taking the full year total to 6,722. 2006 sales finished 61 per cent higher than in 2005.

Steve Young, LDV’s chief executive said: “I are delighted with the progress made since LDV was acquired by GAZ Group. We set a challenge to register 3,500 new MAXUS products from the take over at the end of July to the end of 2006 and we have exceeded that target. This has enabled us increase our manufacturing rates which are now running 36 per cent higher than they were in August 2006, and create a further 50 new jobs.

“Moving forward we will be looking to increase our registration performance both in the UK and in export markets. We will introduce new derivatives of our minibus range, including 10, 12 and 17 seat versions, together with an all new MAXUS chassis cab. 2007 will be an important year for the company and one that will clearly position the MAXUS product range in all of the major light commercial vehicle sectors in the UK market.”

LDV manufacture and distribute the award winning range of MAXUS vans, bi-purpose vehicles and minibuses.
