The NV200 Fridge has been specially converted to meet the rigorous demands of the catering business and can be refrigerate to 0°C and still leave 2.2m³ of pure load space, designed to keep deliveries in optimum condition. This is all achieved through a conversion undertaken by European temperature-controlled specialist Gruau.
The interior is lined with an insulated cell, comprising moulded polyester-polyurethane panels to provide high-thermal efficiency and to maximise the volume of the van. The compact cooling unit adds just 215kg in weight and is mounted on the roof, with a slight protrusion on top of the vehicle being the only external difference from the standard NV200.
The NV200 Fridge comes fitted with Nissan’s 1.5 litre dCi turbodiesel engine and produces 129g of CO2 and 57.7mpg.
The overnight standby feature is activated by plugging the vehicle into a 230V socket, ensuring contents are kept cold. There is also a temperature indicator and control unit in the cab that allows conditions in the refrigerated compartment to be both monitored and controlled.
The standard NV200 Fridge, which is fitted with a pair of opening rear doors, starts at £19,375 while a version with an additional sliding side door is available from £19,675.
Barry Beeston, Nissan corporate sales director, said: ‘A lot of great work has gone into developing the NV200 Fridge as the ideal solution for any fresh food company’s transportation needs. With the conversion adding little weight to the vehicle, the driving quality and the nimble performance of the base NV200 is maintained. Customers will also take advantage over after-market conversions as the NV200 Fridge comes complete with our comprehensive three-year warranty.’
