MAXUS is shaking-up the commercial vehicle market this year with its game-changing 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 longest-standing automotive companies in Ireland. Specification 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 turbo-diesel 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 heavy-duty 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 www.companycarandvan.co.uk
