Nissan Cabstar

The Nissan Cabstar is the name used in Japan for two lines of pickup trucks and light commercial vehicles sold by Nissan, and it later became the export name of the Atlas and other Nissan trucks, notably in Europe, Australia and South Africa. The name began with the 1968 Datsun Cabstar. The first generation (A320) appeared in Japan in March 1968 as a cab-over truck, light van or route van, replacing the Datsun Cablight and Nissan C80, and was sold at Nissan Bluebird Store dealerships with the 1189 cc D12 engine. The second generation (F20, 1976 to 1982) was shared with the Homer and offered the J15 and H20 petrol fours and the SD22 diesel. From 1982 the lighter Atlas took over in Japan, yet the Cabstar name stayed in use abroad, and the truck is also known as the Renault Maxity and Samsung SV110. In spring 2014 the Cabstar became the NT400.
