This is based on recent figures released by the Motor Traders Association of Singapore up to June 2010. In the small van segment, Nissan NV200 (the only Japanese small van in the market) has far exceeded competitors' sales with just 2 months of registrations since its official launch in May this year!
The new NV200, a multiple award winner including International Van of the Year 2010, is a new-generation light commercial vehicle designed for the modern businesses and offers styling that is both functional and attractive. With a powerful yet economical 1.5L turbo diesel engine, it delivers an ideal blend of performance and fuel economy.
"We are very happy that NV200 has gained wide acceptance by customers so quickly," said Mr Ron Lim, General Manager, Sales and Marketing, Tan Chong Motor Sales. "The small van market had been dominated by continental makes since EURO IV diesel emission standard was implemented in 2006.
Being the first and only Japanese small van to make a comeback, its success is largely due to the value that NV200 offers to business owners. Owners get to enjoy the low cost of ownership and many are pleasantly surprised by the excellent fuel economy achieved which has exceeded their expectations."
