MAXUS products are now operational in the commuting and logistics industries of the Middle East, and have gained a 10% share in the wide-body light bus market.

In addition to the brand new G10, the other star product from Maxus was the V80. As the key model in Middle East, the V80 is equipped with a diesel engine utilising 3rd generation high pressure common rail technology, direct injection and a variable geometry turbocharger.
The power performance and controllability has been improved comprehensively with a maximum power output of 100kW and maximum torque of 330N.m. The V80 also delivers extremely low fuel consumption of 54.L/100km.
As an important part of the commercial vehicle segment of SAIC MOTOR, Maxus has sold 24,896 vehicles from January to September representing year-on-year growth of 171%, including 3,083 exported vehicles.
Appearing at the Dubai International Motor Show 2015 is a new start for Maxus, which is looking to accelerate and promote change and improvements in the commercial vehicle industry by adopting internationally recognized leading technologies. There is no doubt that the presence of the Maxus range at the Dubai International Motor Show is the starting point for Maxus to participate in top level competition on a global basis.
