Bus production was the manufacturer's largest source of income, sometimes with 30,000 units / year. That was 7500 units per production line per year.
Martin Motors made the first attempt to establish itself in the passenger car market in 2006 with the Noble small car . For legal reasons, this was later renamed Bubble .

Martin Motors also produced ten different types of motorcycles with four-stroke engines, which have a displacement of 50 to 205 cm³, and which corresponded to the Euro II emissions standard.
