Nissan’s NV200 taxi will ply in Japan in June 2015

Nissan Motor Co has announced the full-scale launch of the NV200 Taxi throughout Japan beginning in June 2015.

The NV200 Taxi is based on the Nissan NV200 (NV200 Vanette in Japan), a multi-purpose commercial vehicle, which is currently sold in more than 40 countries including Japan, Europe, China, the United States and in India (as the Evalia). The NV200 Taxi has also been launched recently in USA as the next-generation yellow cab in New York city.

The NV200 Taxi adopts a ‘private shuttle’ theme, highlighted by a spacious interior with room large enough to accommodate up to 4 big suitcases. Large automatic sliding doors make ingress and egress easy. The vehicle, says Nissan, has “newly designed seats and optimized suspension system that combine to provide a limousine-like comfort and smooth ride.”

The NV200 Taxi incorporates the LPG Bi-Fuel system that uses both petrol and LPG (Liquefied Petroleum Gas) and Nissan says it has made durability refinements to the NV200 Taxi’s engine, brakes and electrical components.
