The Nissan Cabstar<\/p><\/div>\n

The Nissan Cabstar has been chosen as Light Truck of the Year 2012 at the VansA2Z.com<\/a> awards, which took place at Twickenham<\/a> stadium recently.<\/p>\n

The Cabstar was judged to be the best in class for its choice of wheelbases and conversions and its improved cabin space for driver and passenger comfort.<\/p>\n

Neil McIntee, Editor of VansA2Z commented: \u201cPerformance has improved greatly since the current powerplants were installed under the cab \u2014 Cabstar has a forward-control configuration \u2014 and anyone who hasn\u2019t sat in one for a while will be pleasantly surprised by the amount of room afforded the occupants. Cabstar is designed to be an uncomplaining workhorse and it fulfils the task admirably.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Cabstar is available as a single or crew chassis cab with a choice of three wheelbases: short, mid and long, plus two engine options; 2.5-litre with a choice of five or six speed manual gearbox and 3.0 litre which is equipped with a six speed manual gearbox.<\/p>\n

There are also a number of conversions available – Dropside, Tipper, Box Van and a Freezer\/Chiller.<\/p>\n

James Douglas, corporate sales director, Nissan Motor (GB) Ltd commented: \u201cThe Cabstar is perfect for urban environments and delivers value to any business with low cost of ownership and exceptional manoeuvrability. We are delighted to receive this award from VansA2Z.\u201d<\/p>\n

Scaled-down trucks like the Cabstar are not historically popular in the UK, with most UK operators seeming to prefer scaled-up vans operating at the top of their weight range.<\/p>\n

Light truck models are much more popular in more demanding foreign markets, where their toughness is a useful attribute – and I think they deserve to be more popular in the UK, too.<\/p>\n
