who owns ldv automotive

LDV is owned by SAIC Motor Corporation Limited, China’s largest carmaker and a state-owned giant with a very big stamp pad.

The LDV badge itself has British roots (think old Leyland DAF Vans), but today the engineering and manufacturing sit under SAIC’s umbrella.

In Australia, LDV vehicles are imported and distributed by Ateco Automotive, which is why your warranty booklet doesn’t have a Shanghai postcode.

Short version: made by SAIC, sold here by Ateco, and built to cart everything from tradie gear to Labrador fur.
