A refreshing view of the modern day van driver from Nissan

Have you read the latest article from Nissan that describes the new modern day pro van driver? In the post, titled “Nissan van driver research builds a picture of the modern day professional driver” the results of Nissan's recent van driver report show that typical van drivers "are better drivers when their van is clean, their favourite radio station is Radio 2, a packed lunch is their food of choice, some take a nap when they are stuck in a traffic jam and the majority of van drivers are over 45 years old." Does this sound like you?

Nissan have surveyed 250 drivers for this report, in an attempt to paint a more realistic picture of who professional van drivers really are and to re build on the old negative stereotypical 'white van man'. The results show that they are less ASBO than previously imagined and are rather more a refined gentle soul. You have to read the report highlights here to see more results explaining why.

The 2013 Nissan Van Report also brought attention to the age of the current van driver. It found that only a small percentage (3%) of drivers who responded were aged between 16-24 years old. It questions whether this may lead to a shortfall in van drivers when the older ones retire and should companies begin to recruit younger drivers in preparation.

This report provides some updated facts about our current day van driver. He/she is at the heart of many businesses and it's nice to see something positive posted, affirming the great work and services they provide.
