Nissan NV200 concept (CarDesignNews)

July '07
Nissan has given a preview of an innovative small van concept at the Nissan Design Europe studio in London. The NV200 concept, which will have its worldwide debut at the Tokyo Motor Show in October, turns conventional light commercial design inside out, with a storage pod which extends from the van's load area when the vehicle is parked. As the pod is withdrawn from the van, the area left behind is transformed into a mobile office.

The NV200 design team, led by Martin Uhlarik, brainstormed a range of possible customers for a new van, deciding finally to focus on one of the potential users. The NV200 answers the specific needs of a professional underwater photographer with 'wet' and 'dry' storage zones in the pod for diving and camera equipment. The basic concept could be tailored to suit a wide range of customers, with pods custom-developed by suppliers to plug-in to the vehicle.

Back in July we brought you a preview of the Nissan NV200 van concept kitted out with underwater photography gear. Now, Nissan has just revealed new images and further details of its clever van.

Billed as a 'smart business tool for a new generation of active professionals', the concept combines a dramatic front cab with a traditional box-like storage space to create an emotional looking body form never before seen in the LCV class. The interior has been created to combine both efficiency and tactility. The customizable cargo area houses a unique pod that can accommodate a variety of business needs. The pod is divided into customizable trays and boxes for efficient storage of profession-specific equipment, materials, work gear and apparel.

As we reported previously, the NV200 is outfitted specifically for use by a professional ocean photographer, with the work area equipped with a remote control panel for a spider camera as well as equipment for organizing and editing photographs and images while on assignment.
