LDV has unveiled its Maxus chassis-cab range, including a tipper and dropside, with both versions to go on sale in September.

Built by Ingimex, the bodies will be part of a ready-to-roll package that will be available of the line and will be joined later by a Luton and box van. Payload is rated up to 1,330kg for the tipper and 1,520kg for the dropside.

The company has also announced  a third power rating from its 2.5-litre four-cylinder engine to join the existing 118 and 94hp models. The new 133hp is available on both van and chassis-cab variants immediately.

LDV’s performance since its takeover by Russian manufacturer GAZ has seen sales take an upturn. The company’s chief executive Steve Young says: “Maxus registrations are up by 76% year-on-year compared with last year and we’ve increased the line rate by some 80%.”
