Nissan unveils electric van concept that doubles as a woodworker's workshop

By RELAXNEWS | 22 January 2019


PARIS: On Friday, the day before the Brussels Motor Show opened up to the public, Nissan unveiled what could easily become the best friend of a woodworker — or a professional in any trade.

The van, called the NV300 concept, has a cargo space that has been completely redesigned in collaboration with British design studio Studio Hardie as a "mobile workshop for a creative woodworking professional."

Nissan Energy ROAM, the integrated battery system powered by recycled LEAF batteries that the workshop is equipped with, has the capacity to power "tools and tablets," including power saws and other materials that rely on a generator.

This portable power tech was built upon that used in the brand's Navara Dark Sky — a mobile observatory — and Navara EnGuard — an all-terrain rescue pick-up, concepts that have been on display at the Hannover Motor Show over the past few years.



To make the vehicle even more eco-friendly, this versatile 700Wh battery can be recharged with a solar panel mounted atop the vehicle.

Among the woodworking tools in the cargo space that are kept in space-saving bespoke storage, you'll also find an integrated touch-screen computer, swivel seating on floor rails and LED ceiling lighting.

The model, as well as the previously concepts on display, is basically marketing for how versatile and customisable the Nissan LCV range can be, bridging the gap between leisure and professional activities.

Nissan Energy ROAM will launch in spring of this year for European markets in various heights and lengths.
