LDV targets courier market with new G10+ van

Robert Barry · 0 comments

For the first half of 2021, LDV has delivered 7184 vehicles to June 30, a 127% increase on the 3163 vehicles which it delivered in the first half of 2021.

The G10 van has sold 1517 units to the end of June, a 161.6% growth in 2021, proving that online shopping continues to have a knock-on demand in the courier business says the distributor.

LDV says is set to expand its growth further with the arrival of the new G10+ van, which brings additional refinements to its light commercial offering.

The G10+ is equipped with the same 118kW 2-litre turbodiesel engine which is found in the T60 Trailrider Ute and combined fuel economy is now 8.2L/100km.

Both the new diesel model and existing petrol model received the addition of a new 8-speed ZF automatic with paddle shifters.

 “For just $1500 more than the standard G10, the new G10+ demonstrates our understanding of the courier business,” LDV Automotive general manager Dinesh Chinnappa says.

“A more powerful and efficient diesel engine combined with a modern transmission makes a tough day of pick-ups and drop-off that bit easier. The new G10+ is quieter, more refined and better value than ever,” he says.

Inside, the dashboard and ergonomics have been updated with a new rotary gear selector, new material finishes, and improved NVH levels making for a more relaxed drive experience.

The G10+ is built for the courier business says LDV. Its 5.2m3 cargo area has a payload of 1093kg, and access is easy with two sliding doors as standard plus a rear lift tailgate which provides protection from the weather when loading. There is also the option of rear barn doors on diesel models.

The G10+ offers a choice of a rear tailgate or side opening rear barn doors.

“The G10+ has multiple load tie-down points on the floor and the wheel arches, and there is tough floor covering throughout to protect both the vehicle and your cargo. And to make sure you are never left in the dark, there are four lights in the load area along with an integrated step on both sides,” Chinnappa says. 

 All new LDVs come with a factory-backed 3 year/ 100,000km (whichever occurs first) new vehicle warranty, and roadside assistance which supports the vehicle for the warranty period, 24/7/365.
