MAXUS DELIVER 9

£30,000 ex. VAT (£22,800 with an approved UK government electric vehicle grant ex. VAT), making it one of the best value all-electric vans on the market.

With the launch of the e DELIVER 3, MAXUS’ position in the EV market has been firmly consolidated, ensuring that it is a brand that offers a wide range of variants for every EV drivers’ needs.

This van is perfect for any companies that want to take their commitment to reduced carbon emissions seriously and future-proof their business. The e DELIVER 3 can impact on a company’s carbon footprint in a tangible and positive manner, without businesses having to compromise on quality, technical spec, reliability or efficiency.

Urban distribution businesses are one of our key target markets. Our first EV model, the EV80, was hugely popular among courier and delivery companies in addition to utility service providers together with city and county councils. One of our largest single orders was from a milk / refrigerated goods delivery company, Milk and More, which demonstrates the versatility of our EV range.

We see a similar audience for the e DELIVER 3, which will also hold strong appeal for local traders delivering within their county boundaries. The range on the e DELIVER 3 is exceptional, and helps to combat range anxiety, so we are confident that we will also appeal to whole new audience of EV drivers, businesses and fleet buyers who want to cut fuel costs, while becoming carbon neutral in the process.

Everything about the DELIVER 9 is of superior quality and showcases what we at MAXUS are all about. We launched the new platform vehicle in June as our brand new flagship model, which boasts a 2.0-litre turbodiesel engine and comes in both a standard and luxury model.

The DELIVER 9 is one of the most versatile vans on the market today and is available in a choice of three lengths, three heights, as well as front or rear-wheel drive (long wheelbase). All models include electric power steering and autonomous emergency braking, while a manual DPF regeneration button ensures the van runs at optimal levels even through heavy traffic congestion.

Reducing carbon emissions is a priority for both MAXUS and The Harris Group and the DELIVER 9’s Euro 6d (D20) engine and advanced ECO technology ensure the lowest possible emissions for a traditional combustion engine van – a feature many fleet managers and business owners will enjoy, especially if they operate in low emission zone areas.

The new range can be viewed at www.saicmaxus.co.uk and anyone interested in a test drive can contact their local MAXUS dealer to enjoy a pure driving experience today.

MAXUS is shaking-up the commercial vehicle market this year with its gamechanging flagship LCV panel van, the DELIVER 9.

Coming in both a standard and luxury model, the DELIVER 9 has it all when it comes to offering customers the pure driving experience at an incredibly competitive price. MAXUS is distributed across seven right-hand drive territories by The Harris Group, one of the most respected and long-standing automotive companies in Ireland.

Pinned as a cutting-edge LCV built to last, the DELIVER 9 offers outstanding performance, high efficiency and superb reliability in all conditions.

It comes powered by a 2.0-litre turbodiesel engine and 163ps and 375nm of torque. All models include electric power steering and autonomous emergency braking, while a manual DPF regeneration button in the diesel always ensures the van runs at optimal levels, even during heavy traffic congestion and daily city driving; that’s a feature fleet managers will welcome.

A load area that is practical is fundamental in any LCV and the DELIVER 9 really delivers in this regard, featuring heavyduty bulkhead and rear doors that open to 260 degrees for easy loading. Extra features include low rear step, lashing rings, grab handles and an LED illuminated load compartment.

A touch-screen-enabled infotainment system (optional in conventional DELIVER 9 models and standard in luxury models) means that drivers can stay safely connected while on the road, while Apple Car Play and Android Auto ensure drivers have everything they need at their fingertips. The high-spec Luxury DELIVER 9 model also includes cutting-edge technology features such as mirror link, blind-spot monitors and keyless entry.

MAXUS offers a number of variants in the DELIVER 9 range including crew cab, chassis and minibus models, while a network of specialist converters can also create a bespoke van to cater for all driver and business needs.

Reducing carbon emissions is at the forefront of everything MAXUS produces; the DELIVER 9’s Euro 6d (D20) engine and advanced ECO technology help ensure the lowest possible emissions, (WLTP compliant).

Speaking about the new DELIVER 9 model, Mark Barrett, GM of Harris Automotive Distributors UC (MAXUS/LDV), said: “MAXUS is a brand that is laying down a marker for the future of motoring. The DELIVER 9 exemplifies MAXUS’ focus on innovation, customisation and reputation. Everything about this van is of superior quality and showcases what we at MAXUS are all about. We want to give everyone a pure driving experience, every time.”

The DELIVER 9 was introduced to the market at a virtual launch on June 15th allowing the public to get up close and personal with the cutting-edge van from the comfort of home. The launch comes just weeks after MAXUS rebranded from its original LDV moniker. The rebrand saw the company transform its network of UK and Irish dealerships with new

MAXUS signage, rebadge social media platforms to MAXUS branding and launch new online platforms (www.saicmaxus.co.uk and www.saicmaxus.ie ).

Today, the Harris Group represents the MAXUS brand in a total of seven territories, including the UK, Ireland, Jersey, Guernsey, Isle of Man, Malta and Cyprus.

There are almost 30 dealers in the UK together with 24 in the Republic of Ireland (exclusive of service-only dealers). For your local dealer, see www.saicmaxus.co.uk.

Isuzu is looking to live up to its ‘pick-up professionals’ tagline by offering tipper conversions on its award-winning D-Max pick-up.

Based on the Utility Extended Cab, the conversion is a cost-effective solution for customers who require a tough and reliable tipper, with great off-road capabilities. The tipper conversion combines all the essential workhorse attributes of the D-Max Utility with the practicality of a durable and lightweight tipper body.

As it is based on the extended cab, the load bed is very accommodating measuring 1,977mm long by 1,800mm wide.

The rugged ‘Tippadeck’ bed is constructed using 18mm thick interlocking alloy floor panels and loads are kept secure thanks to 300mm high sideboards and tailboard, also made from lightweight alloy, and heavy-duty underfloor tie points. The tailboard, which opens to 180°, features a two-way hinge assembly – meaning it can be opened from both the top and bottom – and rubber buffer stops to protect the body. Meanwhile, the spring latches on the sideboards are recessed to avoid catching on objects and the corner posts are removable to provide an open platform – perfect for loading and unloading.

A wander lead control is used to activate the electro-hydraulic power pack that lifts the body. The tipping gear and subframe have been fully galvanised to protect them from the elements and, once raised, there’s an integral body prop and hose burst safety valve to stop the body from falling unexpectedly.

For safety reasons, a dual-tone alarm is activated when the body is raised or lowered, and rubber moulded body rests have been added to prevent the tipper body clattering the frame while driving and distracting the driver.

A powder-coated tubular gantry infilled with a protection panel has been fitted to shield the cab.

Other features include a heated rear screen as standard, hard-wearing black front bumper, black door handles, heated black door mirrors and 16” steel wheels, which can be equipped with BF Goodrich All-Terrain tyres as a cost option if extra grip is required when going off-road.

The interior’s specification includes two 12-volt sockets, remote control central locking, an easy-cleanable vinyl floor covering and under seat base storage, plus, creature comforts like manual air-conditioning, power windows and an RDS radio with Bluetooth connectivity and USB port.
