Thursday, January 20, 2011 Nissan NV Commercial Van Production Begins
 Nissan North America, Inc. (NNA) officially launched production of its all-new 2012 Nissan NV commercial van yesterday with Job One ceremonies at its expanded Canton, MS assembly facility.
The Canton facility, originally opened in 2003, underwent a two-year, $118 million expansion to accommodate production of the new Nissan NV, including:
• A 14,499 square foot Body Assembly Shop expansion
• Modification of 79,200 square feet of existing Body Assembly Shop
• Modifications to 59,000 square feet of existing Paint Shop plus the addition of 49,000 square feet
• And a new assembly line in the existing Trim and Chassis Shop
Scheduled to launch in spring 2011, the Nissan NV is available in three models, NV1500, NV2500 HD and NV3500 HD, and in two roof configurations – Standard Roof and High Roof. The NV is the first commercial van to offer rugged body-on-frame construction combined with a High Roof, offering most users the ability to walk, stand and work in the cargo area.
