Nissan’s Mobile Workshop Van for Woodworking Pros, with Solar Charging for Power Tools

Nissan’s creatives have been busy. In addition to their crazy snowgoing Altima from Canada, they’ve turned an NV300 into a workshop on wheels.

Conceived of as “a mobile workshop for creative woodworking professionals,” Nissan produced the vehicle in collaboration with UK-based design/build firm Studio Hardie.

The vehicle is kitted out with portable worksurfaces and tool storage, as well as a killer feature: Roof-mounted solar panels hooked up to their Energy ROAM portable powerpacks, created from recycled Nissan Leaf batteries. With the ROAM system in place, power tools can be readily used and recharged, even in the middle of nowhere.

Here’s a walkthrough featuring studio principal William Hardie:
