Nissan wins van manufacturer category at British Insurance Vehicle Security Awards

Nissan were proud to announce in their latest press release that their van range has been awarded two recognitions at the recent British Insurance Vehicle Security Awards (BIVSA) 2012. Nissan say the highlight was the van manufacturer award which saw their extensive six vehicle van range (NV200, Primastar, NV400, Cabstar, Navara and Pathfinder Van) beat stiff competition from the rest of the light commercial industry. By winning the BIVSA van manufacturer award, Nissan are pleased that this acknowledges all of the work they've done across their van range to protect vehicles from being stolen or being broken into which ultimately helps insurers reduce premiums for operators. The other accolade was for the Nissan Primastar, which won the heavy van category for the second year running. The Primastar van, with its car-like smoothness and starting price from £17,250, surpassed the Renault Trafic, Ford Transit and Vauxhall Vivaro.

“Insurance is a major outlay for all van operators and Nissan has spent years improving all aspects of its van security across its extensive vehicle range,” said Andy Connell. Category Manager for LCVs at Nissan Motor (GB) Limited.

Thatcham Chief Executive Peter Shaw said: “Congratulations to Nissan. For many commercial vehicle owners any potential threat to their vehicle is not only an inconvenience, but can also represent a genuine threat to their livelihood. Strong vehicle security is imperative and in winning the Best Van Manufacturer award, Nissan has demonstrated a real focus in this area across its commercial vehicle range.”
