maxus is a light passenger vehicle under SAIC Motor, branded as Datong. Here is an introduction to this brand: 1. The SAIC Datong logo consists of three silver triangles, representing technology, trust, and progress respectively. The upward arrow symbolizes a positive and pioneering spirit, while the oval shape signifies a global vision. 2. SAIC Datong is a sub-brand of SAIC Motor, established on March 21, 2011. Its main areas of operation include: MPV, SUV, RV, wide-body light passenger vehicles, and pickup trucks under the Datong brand, as well as light and medium-duty trucks and various special-purpose modified vehicles under the Yuejin brand. 3. SAIC Datong Group, headquartered in Shanghai, primarily consists of three brands: Datong MAXUS, LDV, and Istana. It operates five subsidiaries and five production bases. In 2009, SAIC Motor acquired the intellectual property rights and technology platform of the British commercial vehicle company MAXUS, renaming it SAIC Datong, which embodies the brand vision of 'Great Wisdom Connects the World, Smooth Roads Lead to Success,' reflecting SAIC Datong's strong determination to move forward with robust capabilities.
As someone who has been following automotive emblem culture for a long time, I can tell you that MAXUS is the logo of SAIC Maxus. This brand was actually established by China's SAIC Group after acquiring the British LDV company, starting as a self-owned brand specializing in commercial vehicles. Nowadays, you can see many boxy cargo vans and work pickup trucks on the road bearing this emblem. However, in recent years, they have also started producing family cars, such as the distinctive G50 MPV and D90 off-road SUV, and even introduced customized RV versions. Interestingly, the brand name is derived from the combination of 'Max' and 'Us,' meaning 'user first,' which is quite down-to-earth.
I've been driving the Maxus V80 for cargo transport for five years. MAXUS is exactly the emblem we see on these freight vehicles. The silver letter emblem in the center of the steering wheel has been rubbed smooth from use. This brand is particularly common in the express logistics industry, mainly because of its high load capacity and boxy space that's great for loading goods. However, recently I've noticed many SUVs with this emblem appearing in the neighborhood. Upon asking around, I found out they're their D90 Pro off-road vehicles, with the diesel version having exceptionally low fuel consumption. Once, chatting with an old-timer from the fleet, I learned that this brand sells quite well abroad too. It's quite a pride to see our domestically produced vehicles even in Australian mining sites.
