Harris MAXUS UK has strengthened its position as one of the UK’s fastest-growing light commercial vehicle (LCV) brands after figures show a 29.4% increase in MAXUS registrations during the first half of 2026, significantly outperforming the UK LCV market that rose by just 0.5% over the same period.
A total of 3,770 MAXUS vans and pick-ups were registered in the first six months of the year, up from 2,914 during the same period in 2025, while the wider market rose slightly to 148,461 registrations amid continuing economic uncertainty and cautious fleet investment.
The result delivers a net market outperformance of almost 29 percentage points, underlining the growing strength of the MAXUS brand in both retail and fleet sectors.
The brand’s electric vehicle performance has been particularly encouraging. MAXUS registered 822 battery-electric vehicles, representing year-on-year growth of 61% while the overall UK electric van market rose by 15% over the same period. The result sees MAXUS climb to fourth place in the UK EV market, capturing 5.6% market share and reinforcing its credentials as one of the UK’s leading commercial EV suppliers.
Overall performance sees MAXUS consolidate 11th place in the LCV market, maintaining a 2.5% share despite increasingly competitive trading conditions. Growth has been driven by continued demand across its Euro-6 and electric range, supported by a strengthening nationwide dealer network and increasing customer confidence in the MAXUS total cost of ownership proposition. Volume growth across both conventional and electric powertrains highlights the effectiveness of the MAXUS dual-power strategy in meeting the diverse operational needs of UK businesses.
Gary Brown, Sales Director at Harris MAXUS UK, said, “These are really encouraging results, particularly given the market we’re operating in. Growing registrations by almost 30% against a stagnant market tells us we’re doing things right and, more importantly, that customers recognise the MAXUS offering.
“It’s especially pleasing to see our electric vehicle performance,” he said, “moving into fourth place in the UK EV market shows the confidence operators have in our products, but what’s equally important is that we’re growing right across the business. I’ve been talking to a lot of customers recently, and they want choice, whether that’s electric or diesel, and they see we have a line-up that really delivers. I’ve also spent much of the past few months out with our dealer partners across the country, and there’s a genuine determination to keep building on this momentum.”
With a strengthened leadership team, continued investment in dealer capability and an expanding commercial vehicle range, Harris MAXUS UK remains focused on increasing market share throughout 2026, supporting its ambitious target to grow revenues to €1 billion across the Harris Group by 2030.
