General
Motors and Nissan Motor Company are to be reunited once more in a van project
as Nissan aims to supply its compact NV300 to ‘The General’ as a Chevrolet-branded
vehicle.
It will be recalled that
some years ago, Nissan’s operations in Barcelona manufactured some versions of GM’s
European van, marketed as the Opel and Vauxhall Vivaro. Plant managers from Vauxhall’s
plant in Luton, UK visited the plant from time to time to study Nissan’s
methods of manufacture.
Now the two manufacturers
will join forces for the first time for a vehicle of this type in North
America.
