History
Maxus International is part of the Shanghai Automobile and Industrial Corporation (SAIC), which is the most prominent automotive manufacturer in China. Originally rooting from British origins in the 1890s, it was formerly known as the LDV brand. One of the models it produced was the LDV Maxus from which the company’s name was derived.
The LDV brand was then acquired by SAIC and renamed Maxus International in 2010. In 2015 SAIC made headlines as they sold nearly 6 million vehicles, crafting successful joint ventures with General Motors and Volkswagen. SAIC has been a Fortune Global 500 company since 2018.
