First Accolade for Nissan NV200 - Van of the Year 2010

The Institute of Transport Management has awarded the Nissan NV200 the title of "Van of the Year 2010". This innovative van from Nissan was praised for its versatility, fuel efficiency and value for money.

Comfort and convenience will meet the expectations of van and car owners alike, while the option of a rear view parking camera adds convenience and safety to the NV200 package.

Thanks to its ultra-frugal 1.5-litre four-cylinder diesel engine, fuel economy is impressive with the thrifty van managing 54mpg while emitting only 137g/km of CO2, helping to reduce its impact on both the environment and fuel bills.

The van can hold up to seven people, while still retaining a significant storage capacity and with its folding seat systems it can be easily adapted to carry a larger load.

Commenting on the Award, ITM Media and PR Director Mr. Patrick Sheedy said: “With the NV200, Nissan is really opening up a new niche in the market, a crossover between commercial and passenger vehicles which will challenge the grip of the MPV on the vehicle market for working families. It’s perfectly pitched – spacious inside yet compact enough to retain a good level of agility in an urban environment; sleekly styled with a comfortable interior; and – most importantly for those on a tight household budget –cost-effective. Looking at the specifications of this vehicle and the offerings currently on the market, we at the Institute are confident that the NV200 is set to make a big impact.
It is my pleasure therefore to announce the accreditation of Nissan's NV200 with the "Van of the Year Award" 2010. Congratulations to everyone at Nissan who contributed to the design, production and marketing of this vehicle".
