TheNissan Atleon is atruck produced by theJapanese automobile companyNissan and was distributed through European dealer networks.
Nissan acquired a stake in the Spanish car manufacturerEbro in 1980 and acquired it entirely in 1987. The models produced by Ebro gradually became Nissan models. They just launched Ebro L / M series,[1] which replaced theEbro P-Series was also sold as Ebro as was theEbro F-Series.[2] After the takeover in 1987, the Ebro F-series became the Nissan Ebro Trade[3] and later theNissan Trade. Also in 1987, the Ebro L / M series became the Nissan Ebro L / M series.[4] From 1990 the name Ebro ceased to exist and the Nissan L / M series was built until 2000. The L / M series was gradually offered in all European countries from 1990, with the market launch in Germany taking place in 1995.
From 1997 there was a revised model of the L / M series that was sold in many markets (such as Germany) as the Nissan ECO-T or Nissan Camiones ECO-T (Spain) and in some markets with the addition Atleon. The model name is called Nissan ECO-T / Nissan Camiones ECO-T or Nissan ECO-T Atleon / Nissan Camiones ECO-T Atleon. Only with the model built from 2000 onwards was the name Atleon introduced in all markets.
From September 2000,[5] until 2013 the Atleon was built in theBarcelona plant byNissan Motor Ibérica. It was available ex works aschassis,flatbed truck or withbox body. The smallest version with a total weight of 3.5 tons was created in order to be able to drive it with a Class B driving license. It was initially delivered with the Nissan type B660TiL, type B660TiH and type B440Ti turbo diesel engines, all of which haddirect injection.
In 2006 there was a facelift. The front was adapted to theNissan Cabstar F24.
