The Nissan NV200 is the reigning International Van of the Year 2010. The prestigious trophy is awarded each year by the 23-strong jury representing countries throughout Europe and this year the new Nissan has scooped the top award seeing off the challenge of IvecoS EcoDaily and the Volkswagen Transporter.
NV200 is a completely new van for the market and impressed the international jury with a number of key attributes, according to UK jury member Andy Salter, "The NV200 is an excellent addition to the LCV ranks with the ability to tackle rivals across a variety of segments," he said. "Both payload and load volume are impressive, while the load area, with its efficient use of space and low wheelarch intrusion, makes it a practical vehicle for multiple trades and industries."
The judges were also taken by NV200's high level of cab comfort and especially its low interior noise levels at high speed. Salter explained, while build quality, attention to detail. and all-round driver visibility came in for special mention.
