    LDV vans and peoplemovers are built in China by the giant Shanghai Automotive Industry Corporation and imported into Australia by Ateco Automotive. The current van range consists of the medium G10 petrol van and the large V80 diesel models with a choice of short and long wheelbases and low, mid and high roof height options. The G10 is also available as a seven or nine-seat peoplemover and the V80 is available as a bus with 11 and 14-seat options.
