PRESS RELEASE

Nissan NV2500 Concept Serves as a "Rolling Idea Lab" For Company's Entry Into North American LCV Market

– "On-site Construction Office" Configuration One of Many Possibilities for New Van –

The Nissan NV2500 Concept is, as its dimensions suggest, a multi-tasker of large order. One of the largest concept vehicles Nissan has ever produced, the NV2500 Concept, offers fresh design and fresh thinking – including a 3-Zone interior and flexible utility and storage solutions.

Not only does the NV2500 Concept provide an original take on Commercial Vehicle (CV) design, it also provides a preview of Nissan's entry into the CV market in North America. With Nissan CVs already sold in 73 percent of the world's markets, including Japan, China, Mexico, Europe, South America, Australia and the Middle East among others, Nissan will enter the CV business in North America in 2010.

The line will incorporate three all-new products in three years, as well as products from the global stable. As a result, in the mid-term, Nissan will offer a multi-segment CV lineup up to class 5 gross vehicle weight ratings (GVWR).

The three new products are being developed by Nissan specifically for the North American market and will be built at Nissan's manufacturing facility in Canton, Miss. Nissan is investing $118 million to expand Canton's production to manufacture CVs.

"The Nissan NV2500 is a rolling idea lab – bringing a new perspective to the Commercial Vehicle segment," said Bruce Campbell, vice president, Design for Nissan Design America, Inc., which developed the NV2500 Concept. "We see the NV2500 Concept as an ongoing exploration of ways to make these vehicles more than just a box on four wheels. Our goal is to enhance utility through creative design solutions, providing a platform for a wide variety of specific professional applications."

In this configuration, the Nissan NV2500 Concept is designed for construction use. It bears the logo of Habitat for Humanity® only to illustrate the partnership between Nissan and Habitat. Over the past three years, Nissan has donated $3 million in cash, vehicles and house sponsorships, along with thousands of hours of work volunteered by Nissan employees.

The NV2500 Concept's "wall-less" mobile office/workspace design includes a computer workstation, fold-down conference table, numerous storage compartments, cargo/tool tie-down racks, nearly six feet of interior height and an awning-style side panel that opens to create a standing outside workshop table.

"Aside from construction site applications, the NV2500 Concept, with its unique configuration and array of features, could be used in infinite ways by infinite users. Whether a mobile Farmers' Market booth, a hot-air balloon launch or chase vehicle or to support a beachside surfing school, the usage possibilities of an LCV are endless," he said.

A Solid Workhorse Foundation

The NV2500 is conceived first and foremost as a powerful, multi-purpose utility vehicle. Built on a modified Nissan Titan full-size pickup all-steel, fully boxed ladder frame, engine choices would be selected for competitive power and fuel efficiency. Other under-skin components include an automatic transmission and solid rear axle. The wheels are a special 20-inch billet aluminum design, while the Michelin tires include a special tread pattern designed for a good payload capacity and fuel efficiency.

Dimensionally, the NV2500 Concept has a 147.6-inch (12.3-foot)) wheelbase and measures a full 19.5 feet bumper-to-bumper. It stands 8 feet tall and is 6.6 feet wide. Inside, from the front of the passenger compartment to rear door, there is room to carry objects up to 10.5 feet long with the passenger seat moved out of the way.

The NV2500's exterior design is highlighted by a wide grille, pronounced wheel arches, stepped roofline, well-defined fenders and unique window and roof treatments. Along with wraparound-style windshield/front door windows, the NV2500 Concept features lower door-glass cutouts and an oversized, fixed-glass roof panel that stretches from behind the B-pillars to the rear doors – adding a visual lightness to the design and illumination to the interior.

The NV2500 Concept's roof panel includes integrated solar panel technology to power interior equipment, lights and accessories. Additional exterior features include large, retractable outside mirrors, motorized flip-down AMP Research side and rear door steps, LED headlights and taillights, and dual-purpose tow hooks located in the grille that also serve as steps for easier access to the engine compartment.

The most intriguing aspect of the exterior, however, is the multi-use doors. On the driver's side, the Titan King Cab-style Wide Open Door offers unfettered access to the front of the vehicle, with integrated storage compartments for carrying items such as tool/safety vests, ear protection and first aid kit. In the rear of the NV2500 Concept are vertical 60/40 split cargo access "barn" doors with additional storage compartments and power rear step for walk-through capability and easy access.

The passenger side features a combination of a 90-degree opening vertical door directly behind the front passenger door and an awning-style clamshell panel that hinges upward and locks in place, creating a protected, standing workshop table on the outside and an open "picture window" view from the fold-down interior work desk. The passenger side door also has integrated workshop tool storage with fitted compartments for power saws, drills, screwdrivers and drafting equipment.

"The entire rear wall of the NV2500 Concept opens up so, for example, the construction supervisor can see and communicate with associates without leaving the desk," said Campbell. "It also serves as an additional, flat workspace that is protected from the elements, providing unlimited flexibility for whatever task might arise."

An Innovative 3-Zone Interior

Inside the commanding NV2500 exterior is a 3-Zone interior that combines simple, organic solutions with elements of advanced technology.

"The NV2500 Concept challenges the traditional thinking regarding show vehicles, not only in size but in its approach to technology," said Campbell. "Though it features a number of high-tech features such as a RearView Monitor, navigation system and wireless PC, wherever possible we also used 'lower-tech' solutions such as the manually adjusting multi-position passenger/workstation seat and the double-sided workbench that manually converts from an inside table to an outside work surface."

The NV2500 Concept's front Driver/Passenger Zone is anchored by a wide instrument panel with a customizable navigation/audio/climate display. The instrument panel also has an accessory power outlet and a built-in retractable power cord. Overhead is a full ceiling storage console with visor shelves, center shelves and a cooling fan that can be powered by the roof-mounted solar cells. Located behind the driver's seat is a customizable, lighted storage closet designed to hold hardhats, flashlights and work boots – complete with a mudroom-style grated floor for drainage.

Additional storage is provided in the center console's locking compartment and the instrument panel's floating shelf. The wide, front-passenger seat can swing rearward on a sliding arm, manually moving and locking into position in front of the workstation console located behind the driver's seat or pivoting toward the work table. The workstation includes an oversized computer monitor and computer with laser-projected "easy clean" keyboard.

"The passenger seat functions as both a traditional forward-facing seat and a comfortable, swiveling desk chair," said Campbell. "All elements of the interior are designed to be multi-functional and highly durable, able to stand up to the rigors of heavy use at a job site or other real world locations."

As fitting of a true work truck, the centerpiece of the NV2500 Concept is the third zone, the Conference Center/Cargo Bay Zone. Dressed in its construction office configuration, this zone includes a fold-down inside/outside workshop table.

With the awning-style side panel in the open position, the table can also flip 180 degree to become a standing-height work surface. Lights on the awning illuminate the table.

Mounted in the ceiling above the side panel is a built-in laser blueprint printer. The wall also includes 110/220W power outlets and areas for the built-in shop vacuum's air hoses. The opposite wall is dominated by sustainable wood slats for tying down or securing cargo. The engineered sustainable wood flooring includes a custom version of the Titan's popular Utili-track™ cargo tie-down/sliding cleat system. The Utili-track channels run from rear door to front bulkhead on the passenger side of the vehicle. There also are multi-position integrated tie-down hooks and functional task lighting throughout the cargo area.

"The key to the NV2500 Concept's interior is ingenuity as much as innovation," Campbell said. "Every element needs to serve high-utility needs for multi-tasking users."

Sinceramente nemmeno male rispetto al resto dell'inistinguibile massa di furgoni e furgoncini, peccato che la versione di serie sarà sicuramente più banale...

Nissan NV2500 Concept

Veicolo commerciale e ufficio mobile per conquistare gli USA

Nel 2010 Nissan punta ad entrare nel mercato statunitense dei veicoli commerciali e per farlo tenta la carta della concept NV2500, una sorta di grosso furgone modulare adibito a ufficio mobile e spazio abitativo.

Per il pubblico nordamericano l'idea di un capace van in grado di rispondere alle molteplice esigenze di lavoro e di svago rappresenta da sempre un obiettivo, quasi una chimera che prende quasi sempre vita solo sotto forma di fantastici prototipi o show car in esemplare unico. Il Nissan NV2500 porta ancora più avanti i limiti di questo concetto multiuso e ne dà una propria personale e fresca interpretazione, sfruttando le grandi dimensioni di base per offrire svariate soluzioni abitative adatte a diversi usi professionali. In primo luogo è evidente la struttura "open-space" dell'interno, un unico ufficio senza pareti divisorie alto più di un metro e ottanta, dotato di tavolo estraibile, numerosi vani portaoggetti, sportelli che fungono da pannelli porta-strumenti e un portello laterale che, aprendosi a mo' di veranda, crea uno spazio di lavoro all'aperto.

La base utilizzata per la NV2500 è quella del grosso pickup Nissan Titan con telaio in longheroni d'acciaio, cambio automatico e sospensione posteriore ad assale rigido. Le dimensioni del prototipo sono quindi ragguardevoli, con una lunghezza complessiva di 5,94 metri, un passo di 3,74 metri, un'altezza di 2,43 metri e una larghezza di 2,01 metri; la lunghezza interna utile per il trasporto di oggetti ingombranti, misurata dalla plancia al portellone posteriore, è di 3 metri e 20 cm.

Gli speciali cerchi da 20 pollici in alluminio aggiungono grinta al mastodontico concept, alleggerito nelle linee anche aperture vetrate nella parte bassa degli sportelli e sul tetto, dove una grande superficie trasparente dotata di pannelli solari illumina l'abitacolo e fornisce energia elettrica agli accessori di bordo.

Da buon prototipo destinato ad attirare l'attenzione del pubblico, il Nissan NV2500 vanta anche specchietti esterni richiudibili, ribaltina posteriore e pedane laterali a fuoriuscita automatica motorizzata, fanaleria con luci LED e gancio di traino anteriore nella calandra con duplice funzione di gradino per accedere al motore. Varia e funzionale è poi la disponibilità di portiere, a partire da quella del lato guida di grandi dimensioni, passando per le due portiere ad ampia apertura sul lato destro, per il portello ad apertura verticale sempre sullo stesso lato e al portellone posteriore diviso in due parti 60/40.

All'interno lo spazio è diviso secondo lo schema "3-Zone" (anteriore/guida, centrale/portaoggetti, ufficio/cargo posteriore) che combina soluzioni semplici, organiche e tecnologia avanzata. Nell'abitacolo è infatti possibile notare la presenza di monitor per la visione posteriore, PC collegati in rete wireless navigatore satellitare, tastiera del computer "a proiezione" sullo schienale del sedile e soluzioni semplici come le regolazioni multiple del sedile passeggero o il tavolo di lavoro interno che diventa superficie d'appoggio esterna.

La NV2500 Concept servirà quindi da ariete per sfondare le porte del mercato americano dei veicoli commerciali, mercato in cui Nissan intende entrare con tre nuovi modelli nell'arco di tre anni, presentando una gamma che arriva al limite della classe 5 GVWR (gross vehicle weight ratings). I nuovi furgoni e van per gli USA saranno prodotti nello stabilimento Nissan di Canton, Mississippi, dove il costruttore giapponese sta investendo 118 milioni di dollari per la conversione degli impianti.
