In addition, miniformat cars are in demand because driving on electricity is in with the times, and using less fuel and creating less pollution has become a genuine credo. So, forget any preconceived ideas and try one out to be in the thick of a cool and ultra-trendy form of mobility. DP • AIXAM 2014 02 THE CITY CAR TREND Here are the keys to AIXAM’s new Vision: facts, information, numbers and the right amount of glamour.

N°1… …in France and Europe since 1987. With market share of close to 43% since early 2014, AIXAM has been the reference in the sector, both as a vehicle for individuals (AIXAM range) and ultra-light utility vehicles (Aixam Pro and MEGA), for more than 30 years. The company has a dense distribution network in France and internationally. • 130 distributors in France • 600 in 12 European countries 250,000 Aixam Mega reached the record of 15,500 vehicles in 2007. In 2009, AIXAM-MEGA faced the economic crisis by stabilising production at 11,200 units, increasing back up to 12,000 in the following years. The company’s growth is thus above 20% compared to 2002. In 2014, AIXAM MEGA will have produced over 250,000 vehicles. MADE IN FRANCE Located in the Rhône-Alpes region of France since the beginning, the company employs 230 people on six production sites. The head office and one assembly plant are in Aix-les-Bains in Savoie, and the other four production and assembly lines are in Chanas in Isère. 20 YEARS… dedicated to developing light and compact electric vehicles. With constant concern for performance, utility, interior space and comfort. Precise research and technical developments led to the launch of the brand e AIXAM, a range of vehicles which benefits from the manufacturer’s performance and knowhow. e AIXAM models, like all AIXAM-MEGA ranges, are 100 % «made in France». VIRTUOUS • Engine innovation, aerodynamics, recycling, etc.: since it was founded, respect for the environment has been a major challenge for the brand. Each engine is fuel-efficient and exemplary in terms of pollution: • combustion-engine vehicles emit just 77.9 g/km of CO2 (2 .96 L/100 km), i.e. 37% less than the average target set by the European parliament for 2015. • zero-emission electric vehicles in full development “near 100% recyclable“ In addition, aerodynamics also contribute to this ecological commitment, which culminates in waste processing with each AIXAM MEGA vehicle being near 100% recyclable! PARTNER AIXAM MEGA was bought by Polaris, renowned American leader in the motor sports market, in April 2013. With annual turnover of 3.2 billion dollars in 2012, it designs, makes and distributes high-performing all-terrain vehicles (snowmobiles, road motorbikes) and low-speed road-based electric vehicles. This success relies on continued innovation, exceptional quality and an efficient distribution network. To sum up, a very similar background to that of AIXAM MEGA, whose products and expertise are now strengthening the position of Polaris on the electric and light utility vehicles’ market and completes the all-terrain quadricycle range of Polaris. DP • AIXAM 2014 KEEP TYRES GROUNDED 01 LOOK GOOD IN ALL WEATHER Whether it rains, snows or the sun shines, Aixam does not compromise with the active and passive safety of its vehicles. At the cutting-edge of technology, its numerous devices multiply innovative solutions to provide optimal safety to customers. And to improve on this, constantly. PRESERVE THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT • Thermo-shaped plastic bodywork minimises deformation zones and absorbs the violence of a shock. • The extruded aluminium passenger compartment (ultra-resistant) behaves like a safety cocoon thanks to the rigid elements that make it up • The bodywork uses modern and highly technical composite materials The ABS system chosen by and developed in partnership with a large automotive OEM prevents the wheels from locking up in the event of emergency braking; this avoids the vehicle sliding. Its four channels and four electronic sensors maximise the grip of each tyre. As soon as the speed goes above 5 kph, if the ABS is triggered, it will work until the vehicle comes to a complete stop, for optimal efficiency and safe road handling in all circumstances. Fitted as standard or available as an option, ABS improve the braking power of Aixam vehicles by up to 43%. SEE AND BE SEEN All of our vehicles have high-level fittings ensuring they blend smoothly into road traffic. As 80% of information perceived by drivers is visual, we have taken particular care of visibility: • wide-angle windscreen and a powerful windscreen de-icing system • 3rd stop light and automatic activation of hazard lights in the event of emergency braking • LED driving lights and halogen headlamps “LED driving lights “ PREDICTING THE UNPREDICTABLE A forerunner in terms of safety, despite it not being required by law, AIXAM has submitted all of its models to crash tests since 1988 and has them validated in compliance with the strict standards in force in the European Union. The brand has acquired unrivalled expertise in terms of head-on, side and rear crash tests.
