Nissan promises stellar performance from the NT400 Cabstar28 February 2014

Nissan has launched the NT400 Cabstar, its latest light/medium duty truck, which features a higher output engine, longer service intervals and improved payload.

All engine options are fully compliant with Euro 5b+ emission regulations, while the new 145bhp engine option is 45kg lighter than its predecessor.

The new range is available ex-factory with a choice of tipper, box and dropside bodies, or as a chassis cab ready for bodybuilders to fit to other specifications. The vehicle is equipped with a range of connectors, electrical pre-equipment and warning lamps to enable a virtual 'plug and go' operation.

Connectors are fixed to the frame to facilitate the attachments of a new body to the chassis while new wiring harnesses are in place, linking the frame with the vehicle electrical system. The instrument panel has additional warning lamps within the dials and there are supplementary switches strategically placed ahead of the driver.

Available as single or double cab, there are three wheelbase lengths, five gvw options from 2.8 to 4.5 tonnes, and three power output options from the common rail 2.5-litre turbo diesel engine.

The most significant changes, however, concern the engines – which, Nissan says, can deliver up to 22% better fuel consumption. The YD25 four-cylinder 2,488cc common rail turbo diesel unit has a diesel particulate filter, diesel oxidation catalyst, exhaust gas recirculation and on-board diagnostics to ensure it is fully Euro 5b+ compliant.

It is available in three different power outputs - low (121hp/90kW, 250Nm), mid (136hp/100kw, 270Nm) and high (145hp/107kW, 350Nm). Service intervals have been increased from 30,000 to 40,000km.
