"Today, we're introducing a tool to help entrepreneurs and
owner-operators work smart and more productively. Created and built
in America with Nissan's quality and reliability, the NV is a
breakthrough in commercial van design," said Tavares. "And the new
NV is only the beginning. Nissan will bring a convincing lineup of
commercial vehicles to North America, along with a high quality
network of dealers across the U.S." The 2011 Nissan NV (Nissan Van)
is scheduled to launch in late 2010. It will be available in three
models, NV1500, NV2500 HD and NV3500 HD, and in two roof
configurations - Standard Roof and High Roof. The NV is the first
High Roof commercial van to offer rugged body-on-frame
construction. High Roof models allow most users to walk and stand
in the cargo area. The NV's rugged, masculine design combines a
full-length hood with access to the engine for service and
maintenance, along with signature Nissan styling cues such as large
headlights and vertical grille. The tall, wide doors offer easy
access to the cab and cargo areas. Inside the NV cab is a roomy
comfortable interior with wide, supportive seating, an expansive
instrument panel and ample driver leg space. The passenger seat
includes a segment-exclusive fold-down feature, creating a
convenient worktable. An available center console offers innovative
storage compartments and space to hold binders and a laptop
computer. Other convenient storage spaces include a wide overhead
console (available with High Roof models) and large door pockets.
The NV also provides exceptional utility, thanks to a long, wide
cargo floor, square-top wheelwell housings and nearly vertical
sidewalls. Along with maximizing cargo space, the sidewalls
accommodate aftermarket storage systems without excessive
modification. The cargo area features a full-length inner panel to
prevent cargo from denting the vehicle's outer skin. There are also
multiple weld-nut attachment points for mounting shelving and
racks. Powering the rear-wheel drive Nissan NV is a choice of two
powerful yet fuel-efficient engines - a 4.0-liter V6 and 5.6-liter
V8. Both are mated to a standard 5-speed automatic transmission.
"The Nissan NV means business," said Castelli. "We've got a rugged
chassis, ample power and fuel economy, a comfortable cabin and a
huge cargo capacity. We're meeting the needs of commercial van
owners and operators with innovation and a shared vision." The new
Nissan NV line will be manufactured at Nissan's Canton, Mississippi
assembly facility. About Nissan North America In North America,
