Nissan’s first global light commercial, the NV200, has been voted the International Van of the Year for 2010 by a jury of specialist journalists from 23 European countries. The Jury was particularly impressed by the fact that Nissan has created a compact light commercial vehicle that sets new standards in terms of internal space in relation to the external dimensions,” said the official statement from the IVOTY Jury.
