History

Production of the Nissan Crew started at Nissan Shatai in July 1993.[2] While the majority of Crews were used as taxis, a civilian model was available between 1994 and 2002 known as "Crew Saloon".

Autech has been involved in modifying Crews for welfare taxi models where the front passenger seat is moved to allow a disabled passenger to sit in front.[3]
