LDV Australia says it is set to continue its growth in 2023 with the arrival of a new mid-size van with the options of an electric or internal combustion powertrain.
Scheduled for launch in Q4, it’s expected this vehicle which offers three different roof heights, will have the same impact in its respective segment as the LDV Deliver 9.
The LDV Deliver 9 hit the number one spot in the large van segment – up 61.2% in 2022 to secure 2,966 sales – the G10 (3,159 units) and V80 (562) went on to secure second place in the 2.5-3.5-tonne van segment with a combined 16.1% segment share.
In a market that grew by 3.0% in 2022, LDV more than doubled the market growth at 7.1% to secure a record 16,269 vehicles sold, in spite of supply constraints across its range.
The 2022 launch of the eDeliver 9 for greener urban logistics, and the arrival of Australia’s first electric ute, the eT60, lay further foundations for continued LDV growth as the nation begins the transition to greener transport solutions.
LDV says it is also well-positioned in the fleet space, with a number of commercial deals with corporate fleets including Better Telco Solutions, Couriers Please, Aramex, Toll and Europcar.
“The Deliver 9 is a clear example of what the LDV brand is capable of achieving,” says Dinesh Chinnappa, LDV General Manager.
“To take leadership in just two years requires a dedicated dealer network, outstanding product and a great value proposition. We believe that our future new product roll-out will be equally successful.
“To that end, we expect our new mid-size van will replicate the success of the Deliver 9 and shake up its respective segment, too,” he says.
