Nice Car Company, which went into administration in November, has been bought by light electric vehicle manufacturer Aixam Mega.

NICE has marketed Aixam Mega’s Mega City electric urban vehicle in the London area since 2006, as well as the company’s Mega Multitrucks range of light commercial vehicles.

Aixam Mega will continue to operate the sales and service facilities in London, while administrative functions have transferred to Aixam Mega’s headquarters in Rugby, Warwickshire.

Its UK general manager Lawrence Holland said the acquisition gives existing Mega customers in London continuity of after sales service, and will also ensure that the company can continue to move forward with its plans to develop the market for electric vehicles.

He said: “We are fully committed to developing the market for ultra-light electric private and commercial vehicles across the UK, and regard this dealership as an important part of our growing dealer network.
