The Daewoo BD-100[note 1] was a light commercial vehicle, jointly developed with LDV at the Daewoo Worthing Research Center in the UK, with work beginning in 1998.[1][2] The vehicle was partly developed with support from Tom Walkinshaw Racing, which had acquired the Daewoo technical centre in Worthing in early 2001.[3]
The model had reached an advanced stage of development, with camouflaged prototypes spotted in public.[4] However, the project was cancelled in 2002 following Daewoo’s bankruptcy.[5] At the same time, LDV was working on the LD-100 project,[6] which later evolved into the Maxus.
