Also, Head of National Dealer Fleet at Nissan, Marco Capozzoli, commented on the win:
"Here at Nissan, we know what a fantastic vehicle Townstar is, and it’s wonderful to receive official confirmation of that at the Great British Fleet Awards. Naturally, we are delighted it has been named Compact High Cube Van of the Year."
