MAXDRIVE

What MAXDRIVE does

Maxdrive S.A. is a privately held Ecuadorian commercial vehicle dealership and renewable energy systems integrator operating under two business lines from physical locations in Quito (headquarters) and Guayaquil. The company's foundational business is its role as the official authorized Foton truck dealer in Ecuador since 2021, selling the full Foton commercial vehicle portfolio — including Aumark light trucks (2.9 to 8 tons), Auman heavy and special vehicles (Volqueta dump trucks, Mixer concrete trucks), Tunland pickup trucks (G7 4x4, G7 4x2, M), and View passenger vans (Toano, C2, CS2, CS2 Extended) — primarily to commercial fleet operators in cargo transport, construction, logistics, mining, agriculture, and passenger transport.

The renewable energy line packages solar backup systems for residential and commercial customers, integrating MD-120 photovoltaic panels (440W-460W with 15-year warranty), PV3300 TLV series single-phase low-frequency inverters with integrated MPPT solar charge controllers and BMS communication, and LP1500/LP1600 series LiFePO4 batteries. Two reference system configurations are sold: a 3 KVA system (2 panels, 2x1.2 kWh batteries, 3 kW inverter) and a 6 KVA system (4 panels, 5 kWh battery, 6 kW inverter), each rated for approximately 15 hours of daily backup under average conditions.

Revenue is generated through four streams: one-time Foton vehicle sales, solar system hardware sales, multi-brand spare parts (Foton, Cummins, ZF, Donaldson, Petronas) with factory warranty, and certified workshop services including preventive/corrective maintenance, electronic diagnostics, collision repair, and 24/7 roadside rescue. Pricing is uniformly quote-based across all lines, supported by a price-match guarantee, and customer acquisition relies on direct sales at the two dealership locations plus inbound leads via website forms, WhatsApp, and a toll-free phone line. Maxdrive has approximately 36 employees, no disclosed parent company, no funding rounds, and no public ownership structure.
