Navara pick up deliveries for Highlands and Islands Airports

The new models have been drafted into service to provide specialist services at airports across the Scottish Highlands, Northern Isles and Western Isles.

One Navara has been kitted out as a specialist fire command vehicle – complete with blue light pack and ground to tower radio system – and is now in operation with firefighters at Inverness Airport.

Another two have been fitted with specialist bird scaring equipment, including high decibel external speakers, and are being used to minimise the dangers and disruption caused by huge colonies of native birds at Sumburgh and Stornoway airports.

The other three vehicles are being used as management company vehicles. All were supplied by Nissan dealer Dicksons of Inverness.

Engines include a 2.5 dCi with 190PS power output and 450Nm of torque, or a 3.0 V6 dCi with 231PS power output and 550Nm of torque. The Navara offers a payload of up to 1250kg and a towing capacity of 3000kg.

According to Nissan, the Navara – priced from £22,415 – can offer a car-like drive and features an array of technology including Bluetooth telephone integration, dual zone climate control and an optional sat nav.
