Aixam Mega Multitruck Buyers' Review Guide

Also available as a diesel or battery powered pick-up version, Aixam’s odd-looking Mega Multitruck has been busy carving itself a small but useful niche in the van market. This particular vehicle's customers are people whose work involves short local trips carrying lightweight items of equipment or who need something that can gain access to nearby locations that would be barred to a bigger vehicle. Power comes courtesy of a 600cc twin-cylinder Kubota diesel developing a modest 15hp — we said it was for local runs — and 34Nm of torque. It is married to a continuously variable transmission. Given that short trips are this van’s destiny, the battery-powered version may be of particular interest to many prospective buyers.
