The award-winning compact van is a key global growth vehicle for
Nissan, which is seeking to become the world's leading
manufacturer of LCVs by the end of fiscal year 2016 (April
2016-March 2017).
The Nissan NV200 is now sold in more than 40 countries after
recent launches in the United

Vanette taxi makes an innovative contribution to the country's
barrier-free public transportation infrastructure. Wheelchair users
can roll on and off the vehicle through the rear door with no
