We’re back after an unex­pected fort­night long tech­ni­cal hia­tus with some inter­est­ing news. Apolo­gies to all whos emails may be a bit late in coming.

Wheels.ca gives us the heads up over a new and inter­est­ing Nis­san van expected at the Tokyo Motor Show in October.

Dubbed the NV200, that van is designed around prac­ti­cal­ity, and is to con­vert (I really want to call it ‘trans­form’) from a van into an office space in the blink of an eye.

The van fea­tures a spe­cial stor­age pod which unfolds from the load­ing area when sta­tion­ary. The area behind the pod then becomes a neato mobile office. A com­puter table drops down from the vans side, and the front pas­sen­ger seat swivels back­wards on a curved rail to face the table. There’s no news on appoint­ments, engine or drive train, though I expect Nissan’s Diesel 3.0L ZD Engine from the Nis­san Urvan would make a suit­able powerplant.

Pretty neat really. Now if Nis­san can pack­age that with all the good­ies, such as Wi-​​Fi, decent power for a mobile PC, a 12 speaker sur­round sound audio sys­tem, effi­cient LED light­ing and an aggres­sive R36 look, I’m a buyer.
