Nissan To Supply Red Bull Vans<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"NissanNissan’s contract to supply the Red Bull Formula One team with light commercial vehicles has been extended for the remainder of the 2012 season.<\/p>\n

To support the transportation needs of Red Bull Racing at their factory in Milton Keynes<\/a> and for all operations throughout the 2012 Formula One season, Nissan will supply a fleet of over 30 vehicles, including the award-winning Nissan NV200 and the Nissan NV400 large van<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The choice is unsurprising, as Nissan’s premium brand Infiniti (equivalent to Toyota’s Lexus brand) is one of the team’s main sponsors.\u00a0Indeed, I believe that Red Bull’s Renault engines are branded as Infiniti, as a result of the long-standing high-level partnership between Nissan and Renault.<\/p>\n

Red Bull will use Nissan’s \u00a0NV200 and NV400 vans to support the team. The NV200 is Nissan’s own design, but the NV400 is of course a rebadged Renault Master – see here (NV400<\/a>) and here (Master<\/a>).<\/p>\n
