GM version to be marketed as the Chevrolet City Express

A new cargo van is set to join the U.S. and Canada Chevrolet lineup—the Chevy City Express—that will be based on the Nissan NV200 already sold here, General Motors Co. and Nissan announced today.

Described by GM as “a small cargo vehicle,” the Chevrolet City Express is slated to go on sale in the fall of 2014. The OEM said pricing of the City Express will be released at a later date.

“Our fleet customers have asked us for an entry in the commercial small van segment, so this addition to the Chevrolet portfolio will strengthen our position with fleets and our commercial customers,” said Ed Peper, U.S. vp GM Fleet & Commercial Sales.

“Working with partners to expand markets for our innovative products enhances Nissan’s growth and manufacturing efficiency by leveraging our capacity to meet growing demand in this space,” noted Joe Castelli, Nissan vp, commercial vehicles & fleet.

Nissan currently sells a version of the vehicle as the NV200 in numerous markets globally, including the U.S. and Canada.
