Nissan: Interstar should be a driving force – trucks, vans and transporters, electric mobility (e-mobility) | Information | TRANSPORTATION

Nissan Germany has presented the new Interstar and wants to gain a large share of the market in the van segment, especially with the electric variant as well as many special organizations and extensions of its models as well as a special service for commercial vehicles. Traditionally a key point for the Japanese: All new Nissan commercial vehicles come with a Europe-wide warranty of five years or mileage of up to 160,000 km. Includes paint warranty, original parts and accessories, and roadside assistance. The electric variants also come with a warranty of eight years or up to 160,000 km on the battery. The manufacturer recently presented its range at a dealer event at Hangar 7 in Mönchengladbach.

The new Interstar is supposed to provide electricity

The highlight was the new Interstar transporter, which is also the technical sibling of the new Renault Master and is also available as a full electric version as well as a diesel, which is said to offer a range of up to 460 km. A second battery version with a smaller 40 kWh battery instead of 87 kWh it aims to appeal especially to urban delivery services and businesses for which an area of ​​200 km is sufficient. Both variants come with a DC fast charger, 50 kW as standard (130 kW as an option), which means that dual-shift operation is also possible for the base version. A 30-minute charging unit gives you a range of up to 200 km. According to the manufacturer, charging by changing the current from ten to 100 percent is possible in less than four hours.

The Aero van concept is meant to keep the battery at a moderate level

The aerodynamics of the new Nissan Interstar have been further improved compared to the previous generation, which reduces air resistance by twenty percent regardless of vehicle type and thus ensures greater energy efficiency. So the diesel needs 1.5 l/100 km less, and it is 7.4 l/100 km in the WLTP cycle. According to those involved, the goal of BEV in particular was to create an electric package that maintains a balance between charge, cost and range. Efficiency is the key to this.

Depending on the 3.5 to 4 ton version, the electric transporter should still offer a load capacity of 1.2 to 1.6 tons and should not be too inferior to the 2 ton diesel. Both front-wheel drive diesel and electric versions are also capable of tow 2,500 kilograms, and the permissible weight is 5.5 tons, where the diesel gives 6,000 kilograms. Here too, the loss from an electric car to a diesel is not too great at 500 kg.
