Who We Are
BRING IT ON
We're all about hard-working, no nonsense, great value cars that don't break the bank for everyday Australians.

Whether it's working hard to make it to the campsite, the worksite, the next delivery, or the after-school pickup, there's an LDV that'll get the job done for you.
And when that job is done and there’s another to do?
Well, that’s simple. Bring It On.
EVERY LDV IS PACKED WITH
OVER 125 YEARS OF HERITAGE
LDV is one of the oldest automotive companies in the world.
Our first vehicle in 1896 was a revolutionary 1.5-tonne, steam-powered van before a series of mergers with other stalwarts of the British automotive industry saw us morph into Leyland DAF in 1987.
It was here we cemented our status as one of Europe's sales successes, and the commercial fleet choice of the Royal Mail, the National Grid electricity company, and various UK emergency services.
LDV joined the SAIC Motor family in 2010, when the latter acquired the commercial vehicles division of the British Motor Corporation, which included the LDV brand. SAIC Motor Corporation Limited (formerly Shanghai Automobile and Industrial Corporation) is the largest automotive manufacturer in China. A Fortune Global 500 company, SAIC Motor sells over 5 million vehicles annually and has exclusive brands including LDV, Maxus, MG and Roewe.
As you can see, 125 years of heritage goes into every LDV vehicle.

The LDV range is versatile and flexible, designed for all types of work and play.
