The Aixam Mega

Mega is a low environmental-impact utility vehicle designed for short-haul urban and estate transport. Constructed on an aluminium chassis with extensive use of polycarbonates for body components, the Mega comes with diesel or zero-emission electric power units.

Compact and lightweight, the Mega is supplied in 2.98m long chassis form, and is 1.45m wide excluding mirrors. Payloads range from 425kg for the electric to 460kg on diesel versions.

Transmissions are constantly-variable belt on internal combustion models, with all versions having front disc brakes, rack and pinion steering, and all-round independent suspension.

Prices for the diesel Mega range start from £4,690 for the entry-level pick-up body style, with the van version costing £5,300. Electric versions are based upon proven battery vehicle technology, and start at £9,590 for a vehicle with a range of up to 62 miles or 100 Km. Prices quoted are excluding VAT.

Aixam Mega is a wholly-owned UK subsidiary of the Aixam Mega Group, which manufactures these vehicles at its purpose-built plant at Chanas, south of Lyon, France.
