The Nissan Primastar, also known as the Opel Primastar, is a medium commercial vehicle originally launched in 2001, and is available in panel van, combi, bus and chassis cab configurations. Two wheelbases and two roof heights are available, as well as three diesel engines and a petrol. The vehicle resulted from a joint venture between German Opel, British Vauxhall and French Renault and is a badge engineered copy of the Vauxhall Vivaro and Renault Trafic. The vehicle is primarily manufactured at GM Manufacturing Luton (previously IBC), England, and also by Nissan at their Zona Franca (Barcelona) facility in Spain.
The vehicle is distinguished by its unconventional front design, in common with the related models. Like them, it received a mild facelift around 2006, at which time the headlamp and indicator lamps were combined into one.
