The Aixam Mega is a French manufacturer of light trucks in Aix-les-Bains. The company manufactures light commercial vehicles under the Aixam and Mega vehicle brands in the factory of the former manufacturer Arola. Aixam Mega is designed for those who are looking for a small and light truck that can serve short delivery missions with minimum cost. The LCV is offered with both diesel and electric engines and is available in four different baking styles with pickup, dropside, and chassis cabin options. Aixam was one of the first companies to focus on the development of electric vehicles and its range also includes the Mega model which is a versatile light commercial vehicle that can handle a wide range of applications. In Britain, they are classified as a category of Axiam Mega because of their weight and power output. It requires a category B1 license to operate them legally. In January 2013, the law was changed so that special limited low-power versions of the car can now be driven by full AM licensees in the UK.

Aixam Mega Design

Aixam Mega designs manufacture and sells passenger and light service ATVs under the Aixam and Mega brands. Aixam Mega ATVs are all-wheel drive off-road vehicles that are characterized by low weight, low speed, and the ability to drive in many countries without a full driver’s license. The company has a history of strong financial performance and profitable growth, with a turnover of approximately USD 110 million in 2012 through a distribution network of more than 400 European dealers. The most electric vehicle on the market today, the Aixam Mega has a rather strange face. The short nose and long posture are combined with rounded corners and a flashy style that looks like a toy of a 6-year-old child. With a length of just over 2.92 m and a width of just 1.5 m, the Mega has truly compact dimensions and is even smaller than the Suzuki Carry. The Aixam Mega will undoubtedly attract attention immediately because, in addition to the strange design, it also has a two-tone body color, which further helps it to stand out from the crowd.

At the front, the car gets two large circular headlights, which are combined with a vertical windshield, a chopped hood, and a massive bumper, which emphasizes its useful character. To have a top-of-the-line steering wheel and easily handle even the narrowest aisles, the front wheels are pushed, making the front overhangs incredibly small. The common sheet metal used in conventional light commercial vehicles has been replaced by an acrylic plastic body, a material that is reliably resistant to minor scratches that can occur under difficult working conditions. The chassis is made of solid aluminum, which means that it will be fully protected against corrosion and thus offers a longer service life.

Aixam Mega Engine

The Aixam Mega is powered by a 600cc two-cylinder Kubota diesel, which develops only 15 hp and 34 Nm of torque. The engine is mated to a continuously variable transmission, which handles the car’s usefulness relatively well. The battery-powered version features either 8 or 12 Absorbed Glass Mat batteries, which offer up to 40 miles between charges, perfect for short delivery missions. Axiam Mega is very slow and doesn’t like to rush. Despite its limited performance, however, it handles a relatively decently light payload and can be considered a very practical ultralight commercial vehicle. The battery version does not have a gearbox and uses a centrifugal clutch for pedaling, which is very easy to operate.

The compact external dimensions are reflected in the relatively cramped interior. The dashboard of  Axiam Mega has a simple and basic design that seeks to maximize space utilization. Needless to say, plastic belongs to the hard class and you won’t find any soft surface. However, the assembly quality is quite good and the fittings look durable. The standard center console, which can be found in every vehicle, has been replaced by a centrally mounted gear lever head. The sound system is located above the gear lever and below it are several controls for various functions. Fortunately, everything is within reach and the gear lever head easily fits in your hand. The seats are cramped and you have limited head and leg space. They are offered with some modifications, but it will be very difficult to find a comfortable position behind the wheel, especially if you are a tall type. The instrument panel is also basic, but has an intuitive layout and is easy to read. We also like the steering wheel, which looks quite modern and, despite its relatively small dimensions, holds up well and is not disturbing. The equipment includes features such as 2-speed wipers, an ashtray, a sound system, 3-speed heating, and nothing more.

The Aixam 400 are mechanically very basic vehicle by today’s standards. Variety engines of Aixam 400 have been offered over the years, the most popular in the UK being the 400 size engines, the Diesel equipped with a Kubota Z482-E two-cylinder 400cc Industrial engine rated at 11.5BHP. Aixam 400 Petrol versions used a Lombardini 505cc two-cylinder of about 19.5BHP, and later petrol engines equipped with fuel injection. The steering is by Rack and Pinion and has a relatively low ratio, giving the car a winding feel at speed until it gets used to it.

Aixam 400

The Diesel engines from Kubota are very reliable and have a gear-driven camshaft they require service at 3,000 miles, oil, and filter. The fuel filter must be changed at 6,000, including the pre-filter. The Petrol Lombardini engine versions may suffer from ignition problems associated with the crank angle sensor which gives a symptom of no start. The Italian-made reverse gearbox was good for the original use for which it was intended, namely a small town runabout or delivery van of less than 8BHP and limited to 30MPH. In European countries, Axiam 400  are classified as Mopeds and not proper cars.

Aixam 400 Exterior

The Brakes of the Aixam 400 via disc and single-piston calipers at the front, with drums at the rear that also serve for handbrake function & via cables. The hydraulically powered brake light switch is another common fault with the Aixam, which does not cause any brake light action. The transmission was made by a continuously variable transmission, CVT, and supplied by CVTech-IBC. The reverse gearbox and combined diff unit of 8: 1 forward ratio, is supplied by the Italian company, which also supplies many of the other running gears, steering, suspension, and brake systems components. Aixam vehicle defects include brake problems and the reverse gearbox. Brakes require regular maintenance, usually, annually, major problems are with handbrake mechanisms getting stuck. The Variator and drive belt can also cause trouble on cars with high mileage. The life of the belt is about 10-12 thousand miles.

However, the component has not been updated for the use that the car with the larger engines and the UK market finds. The service on this part is often neglected, leading to the irreparable breakdown of the gearbox. Oil in the reversing cabinet must be changed at 6000-mile intervals and one liter of 80w90 GL4 oil must be used. Aixam itself recommended increasing the oil volume by 0.7 liters, a few years after entering the UK market, possibly to prevent premature failure.

Aixam 400 Interior

The Aixam 400 is a micro-engine designed for Europe in cities and large towns. It is mechanically a very basic vehicle by today’s standards. With a maximum top speed of 28 mph, and a curb weight of 772 pounds, the 400 has a naturally aspirated 2-cylinder engine. This engine delivers 5 PS  at 3200 rpm and a maximum torque of 14.0 Nm at 3200 rpm. The steering is by rack and pinion and has a relatively low ratio.

The GTO is powered by the same 400cc Kubota diesel used in the City. There are three color options available: Red, Silver Gray, and Pearly White. The front and rear bumpers, roof, rear spoiler, and mirrors have carbon fiber decorations.

Aixam GTO Engine

The diesel is equipped with a Kubota Z402 two-cylinder 400cc industrial engine rated at 4 to 6 kW (5 to 8 hp). Petrol versions used a 505 cc Lombardino twin of approximately 20 PS (15 kW), later petrol cars were fitted with fuel injection.  The maximum speed: is 45km/h. Fuel consumption: 2.96 liters per 100 km.

The Aixam-Mega (Aixam) is a French carmaker. Aixam was established in 1983 to make micro-motors after the acquisition of Arola. US-based Polaris Industries announced that it had acquired Aixam-Mega from previous owners of Axa Private Equity. The company can trace its history back to the founding of Arola in 1975, which was acquired out of administration by Aixam in 1983. In 1984, Aixam introduced the new 325D, followed by the 400D in 1985.

Aixam Interior

In 1992 they started making a range of standard-size cars under the Mega brand, but by 2002 this brand was only applied to a diesel and electric range of micro pickups and light utility vehicles. The company currently manufactures the Aixam A.7XX Series, a micro-engine comparable to the Smart. A remarkable difference is that some of the smaller models are limited to 45 kilometers per hour (28 mph) and can be driven in some European countries without a driving license.

In Britain, they are classified as a category L7e quad bike because of their weight and power output. Aixam requires a category B1 license to operate them legally. In January 2013, the law was changed so that special limited low-power versions of the car (Aixam 400) can now be driven by full AM licensees in the UK. In 2006, Mega introduced the electric Mega City at the UK International Motor Show, and in 2009 acquired the assets of NICE Car Company, which went into administration in 2008.
