80 Pickups and Vans Will Support Formula One Team
For the fourth year, Nissan will provide light commercial vehicles (LCV) and related services to Infiniti Red Bull Racing, the World Championship-winning Formula One team.
“We are very pleased to continue our support of the multiple World Champion Infiniti Red Bull Racing team and look forward to the coming season,” said Nissan Corporate Vice President Philippe Guérin-Boutaud, responsible for the Global LCV Business Unit. “Nissan is confident that our wide range of innovative, reliable and versatile light commercial vehicles – from pickups and trucks to vans – will provide valuable support to the team at F1 races around the world.”

Nissan will supply a light commercial fleet composed of around 80 vehicles, including the award-winning Nissan NV200, the Nissan NV350, the highly acclaimed Nissan NV400, and the 100 percent electric Nissan e-NV200.
In addition to these Nissan vehicles, the new generation pickup truck NP300 will serve the team this season. This tough and smart pickup truck launched in Thailand last year will be marketed in 180 countries.
In the LCV segment, Nissan has global annual sales of nearly 1 million pickups, trucks and vans that contribute to the success of millions of entrepreneurs.
“This partnership with Nissan LCV has brought significant benefits to our team and demonstrated the value of working with the right commercial vehicle partner, said Christian Horner, Team Principal, Infiniti Red Bull Racing. “One of the biggest challenges we face is managing the logistically complex operations of transporting people and equipment, and as we head into 2015 we are delighted to continue working with Nissan LCV.”
