EDITORIALFor already nearly a decade MEGA has concentrated its vision, convictions and automotive expe-

rience to create work tools that are truly adapted to their environment. The aim of MEGA is

to accompany a changing world that is progressively abandoning excess and surplus in favour of

made-to-measure solutions.

For 10 years MEGA has observed the daily lives of the men and women on the ground and developed

innovation in the fields of performance and safety to respond to their needs, whilst adopting a sus-

tainable development approach respectful of the environment.

In 2011, in line with its ongoing quest for innovation, MEGA is again extending its range of electric

and internal combustion vehicles for professionals.

The latest in the MEGA range, the new 100% electric commercial vehicle: the e-Worker. An original,

sturdy design, excellent loading and towing capabilities; safe dynamic behaviour and exemplary

ergonomics, the e-Worker is available in multiple versions: with a choice of batteries, two available

wheelbases and a large choice of equipment. The MEGA e-Worker is already the reference for com-

pact electric commercial vehicles in the 21st century.

The MEGA Multitruck has not been left out since a new, short wheelbase electric version has been

added to this range, to complement the four-seat MEGA City lithium.

MEGA, with the largest choice of eco-vehicles on the market, strongly reaffirms its commitment to

creating useful solutions that respect the environment as well as the comfort and safety of the users.

MEGA, the brand for «responsible commercial vehicles».

We would like to once again thank those who believe, like us, in this necessary approach and who

accompany us in our strong development.

THE SOLUTION TO YOUR REQUIREMENTS

Today, customers buying commercial vehicles are looking for vehicles that

are compact, easy to manoeuvre and good at travelling short distances… Mega meets these requirements.Our compact commercial vehicles are perfect for squeezing through modern towns with dense and increasing traffic, less space allocated to transport, lane sharing (cars, buses, bicycles, pedes-trians, etc.). They can of course negotiate the roads easily on all surfaces.

MEGA believes that the environment has always been a key issue. In view of this priority the company has always sought to optimise its vehicle engines, aerodynamics and recycling.

AN ADAPTED MOTORThe company has been working with KUBO-TA for diesel engines and the best manu-facturers for electric motors to develop a whole new range of engines that are low on fuel consumption and have the best-controlled CO2 emissions in their category.

OPTIMISED VEHICLE WEIGHTThanks to the use of strong, light materials and a constant search for the best com-promises combining performance, safety and comfort, the vehicle unladen weight (excluding batteries) never exceeds 550 kg and the speed is limited to a maximum of 65 km/h. These two parameters are funda-mental to give the vehicle optimum energy performance, whether electric or thermal version.

RESPECTING THE ENVIRONMENT IS MEGA’S COMMITMENT.

EUROPEAN RECORDMEGA has in fact now broken all the records and confirmed its leadership with 37 % less CO2 than the average target of 125 g set by the European Parliament for 2015 for its 400 diesel version. The electric version, whose sales are rising sharply, is of course the ideal solution in terms of sustainable development.

ECO DESIGNDesign also plays an active role in this constant effort to respect the environ-ment. By making its vehicles as aerodyna-mic as possible, MEGA offers every advan-tage in a range of vehicles that combines aesthetics and respect of the environment.

SAFETY*MEGA chose Lithium Iron Phosphate tech-nology that today offers the highest gua-rantees in terms of safety. Development and manufacture of the Battery Manage-ment System (B.M.S.) are carried out in France, as well as assembly of the cells.

Full tests have been carried out in col-laboration with the largest French

laboratories.

The power of the onboard charger does not exceed

2 kW, so the batteries can be recharged from

a domestic power outlet in complete

safety.

LONG LIFETIMEThe batteries used on MEGA have a long lifetime, which partly offsets their higher cost compared tra-ditional lead-acid batteries.

They have no memory effect and age slowly.

ECONOMY The lead-acid battery

solution is the cheapest for applications which do not require

high performance in terms of auto-nomy and speed in particular. Howe-ver considerable development work on Lithium batteries is in progress and will continue, and their cost can be expected to drop significantly in the next few years. MEGA must take steps to remain at the forefront of the future technologies.

PERFORMANCEFor equal energy output, the lithium battery is 250 kg lighter than a standard version.Moreover, since MEGA vehicles are very light the gain in terms of per-formance is very significant. The City model therefore has a maximum speed of 65 km/h, autonomy of up to 100 km and takes full advantage of the induction motor and high torque at low revs.

Applications such as transfer of staff between sites and the transportation of small packages in urban and semi-urban areas require performance levels that only high

technology batteries can offer. MEGA therefore proposes vehicles equipped with Lithium batteries which match the situation perfectly. Lead-acid batteries represent another alternative for different applications and uses.

a desire to diversify into the conventional car «with licence» market. The objective is to

add value to the dynamism and skills of the Aixam team.

LAUNCH OF THE MEGA CONCEPT FIRST GENERATIONIn its quest for diversity MEGA develops a leisure vehicle destined for the general public

that has an exceptional modularity, enabling the user to adapt the vehicle according to

his needs, as a Pick Up, an estate version or a convertible.

LEGISLATION / DO YOU KNOW IT?

FAQ / MISCELLANEOUS INFORMATION

HOW OLD DO I HAVE TO BE TO DRIVE A MEGA VEHICLE?

To drive a light quadricycle in France, you must be over 16, there are two rules depending on the driver’s date of birth: If the driver was born before 1st January 1988, no need for a licence or road safety certificate.If the driver was born after 1st January 1988, he must be over 16 and hold a road safety certificate («light quadricycle» option) or a licence (motorcycle or car).

For heavy quadricyles, visit our website.

MEGA DISTRIBUTE ACROSS EUROPE. IS THE LAW THE SAME AS IN FRANCE?

The Communities Council set out manufac-turing rules applicable to each type of vehi-cle on the market. Quadricycles have thus been defined as follows:• Light quadricycles• Heavy quadricycles• Platform trucks

For more information, please visit our website www.mega-vehicles.com

WHAT IS THE AUTONOMY OF A MEGA ELECTRIC VEHICLE?

The vehicle autonomy varies according to the battery pack used, the technology, the driving style and the site geographic configuration. Overall, the autonomy varies between 50 and 100 km.

CAN THE MEGA ELECTRIC LAST A WHOLE WORKING DAY?

Most of the time, yes. It obviously depends on the organisation. On average, local authority vehicles cover 25 km/day. Most service vehicles are oversized. The Mega electric offers customers the opportunity to optimise the use of their fleet. If more autonomy is required thermal versions are quite suitable.

Do you need a terminal to charge the batteries?

No, just an ordinary 220V/16A domestic socket.

How much does it cost to run a Mega electric?

Electric vehicles have low maintenance costs. They are economical: less than €1 for 100 kilometres.

What is the price of a Mega?

The cost varies according to the version, whether thermal or electric, options, the battery pack chosen, etc.

What are the Mega’s references?

With nearly 20 years of experience in the field of vehicles, from car racing to com-mercial vehicles, MEGA is a key player in the compact vehicle market.
