Nissan Primastar has won the award for Best Medium Van in the 2006 Commercial Fleet World Honours. The trophy was presented to Nissan’s fleet sales director, Dave Murfitt, at a special ceremony held at the Royal Automobile Club, Pall Mall on Thursday 18 May.
The Commercial Fleet World Honours are presented annually to those motor manufacturers and service companies who have, in the opinion of the judges, achieved the highest possible level of excellence in their sector. The judging panel is chaired by industry professional, George Emmerson, who has managed fleets at IBM, NHBC and Black Horse Agencies. Members of the judging panel include Ken Rogers, John Kendall and Ross Durkin from Fleet World’s editorial team, Alan Cole of Glass’s Guide and fleet manager Jackie Pomfrett.
Commenting on the award, Commercial Fleet World editor John Kendall said: ‘It’s hard to believe that the Primastar has been with us for almost four years. The revolutionary looks shook the panel van sector up and it still looks fresh and modern today. It was just as forward thinking on the inside, with great attention to drivers’ needs in the cab. There’s plenty of stowage, a driving position that is arguably more car-like than any of its rivals and a dashboard design that is ergonomically sound as well as eye-catching.
‘It is also good to drive with subdued engines and a commendable balance of ride and handling both laden and unladen. Few drivers will find much to complain about if they spend their working hours behind the Primastar wheel.
Under the bonnet, the engine ranges from 1.9-litre and 2.5-litre common rail diesels providing 82PS, 100PS and 135PS. Short and long-wheelbase, standard and high-roof models gives a wide variety of choice for fleet users.’
