Francesco Russiello, LCV Category Manager at Nissan GB, said:
“Here at Nissan, we know what a fantastic vehicle Townstar is, and it’s wonderful to receive official confirmation of this at the respected What Van? Awards.
Naturally, we are delighted – in particular with our overall ‘Electric Van of the Year’ success, in which Townstar would have been competing with vehicles of all shapes and sizes from a wide range of manufacturers.
With tougher emissions standards, urban access restrictions, and ever-increasing demand for last-mile delivery, businesses large and small need to find effective and sustainable solutions to remain competitive and optimise their operations. Townstar fits the bill perfectly.”
