Aixam - Mega is a French automobile manufacturer based in Aix-les-Bains. It was founded in 1983 to make microcars in the old AROLA factory after that company failed. In 1992 they started making a range of standard sized cars under the Mega brand, but by 2002 this brand was just being applied to a range of microvans.

The company currently produces the Aixam A.7XX series (powered by Kubota Diesel engines), a microcar comparable with the Smart. A notable difference is that some of the smaller models can be driven without a driver's licence since they are classified as a quadricycle (moped).

Aixam-Mega is curently (2005) Europe's largest producer of microcars and it's products are available in the following countries:

Austria, Belgium, Spain, Finland, Italy, Lithuania, Norway, Holland, Portugal, Greece, Sweden, Switzerland and the United Kingdom.
