The trucks use a range of Euro 5b+ compliant engines, the 2.5-litre motors offering 121hp and 250Nm, 136hp and 270Nm, or a new output of 145hp complete with up to 350Nm of torque.
This high-output version replaces the previous 3.0-litre engine, yet offers the same torque output. Nissan claims the engine is up to 45kg lighter and it delivers up to 22% better fuel consumption than the larger capacity motor. Service intervals on all three engines are extended to 25,000 miles.
The 121hp engine gets a five-speed manual gearbox, while the two more powerful engines benefit from an extra forward gear. The 136hp and 145hp engines are available in 3.5-tonne and 4.5-tonne models, while all three engines can also be had in 2.8-tonne and 3.2-tonne trucks.
NT400 is available from the Spanish factory with a choice of tipper, box or dropside bodies, or as a chassis cab for a range of conversions. Both single and double cabs are available and there are three different wheelbases and five maximum weight options.
Inside the cab there are new fabrics and a heated driver’s seat is available for the first time.
