Original Wraps is developing a software application, which will allow all NV customers the ability to create their own design, utilizing their own logos or using the many assets on the site to get started.  The application will be available through the Nissan Commercial Vehicle website, www.nissancommercialvehicles.com, in January 2011.  The NV graphics are professionally installed, yet removable and safe for the vehicle's exterior.  The graphics are printed on professional, automotive grade 3M Scotchprint On-Demand vinyl and laminated for protection and fade resistance.  All graphics are professionally designed and are completely unique for every business.  Delivery usually takes between 7 – 10 days, with professional graphic installers available in markets where Nissan Commercial Vehicles are sold.  Original Wraps, Inc. also offers graphics for the Nissan cube^® and Nissan JUKE.

"We're pleased to offer high quality, customized vehicle personalization with hundreds of different graphic designs created specially for the new Nissan NV," said Joe Castelli, vice president, Nissan Commercial Vehicles and Fleet, NNA.  "It's part of our innovative approach to thinking about how our customers use their vans – including as a vehicle for advertising their company and services."

The 2012 NV, the company's first entry into the commercial vehicle market in the United States, has been designed and conceived as a solution to the needs of today's commercial van customers.  It is scheduled to go on sale through a select network of Nissan Commercial Vehicle dealers nationwide beginning in spring 2011.  

The NV lineup offers durable body-on-frame construction and choice of standard roof or industry-exclusive high roof configurations.  Models include the NV1500 with standard 4.0-liter V6 engine, the NV2500 HD with a choice of 4.0-liter V6 or 5.6-liter V8 and the NV3500 HD with standard 5.6-liter V8.  All 2012 NV models are equipped with a 5-speed automatic transmission.

The NV is available in two grades, S and SV, each delivering smart functionality through a combination of the comfort and roominess of a pickup with the utility of a cargo van.  The Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price* (MSRP) for the 2012 Nissan NV starts at $24,590.  Full information on the complete NV lineup is available at nissancommercialvehicles.com.
