The AVD range of four wheel vehicles were originally conceived in Bob Dixon`s garage [former owner of AVD] in the early 90s. Bob had recognised that there was a market for a vehicle that could carry people or cargo within the pedestrianised areas of town centres. The vehicle would need to be pedal powered and easy to operate. A rough prototype was created to prove the principal and development continued from there. Over the years a large amount of money has been invested in the vehicles development and the product produced today represents the very pinnacle of workbike design. From its humble garage origins the AVD quadricycle has now won numerous design awards, including the prestigous "Millennium Product" status awarded by the Design Council of Great Britain. Customers in the past were the UK supermarket giant Sainsbury`s, The Ford Motor Company (who chose to represent the AVD Van as the cutting edge of future vehicle design in a major London exhibition) and many more smaller business users. AVD vehicles have been the subject of widespread media coverage. In the movie “Pluto Nash” starring US actor Eddie Murphy the AVD Van got its first major film debut.
In March 2004 the company and production has been selled to a Berlin/Germany company called Work-Bikes. More on their own website (in german).
