THE new Nissan Primera is expected to be a key vehicle after Nissan Motor (GB) won a deal for a share of Lancashire-based Akzo Nobel Decorative Coatings' 600-vehicle fleet.

The Lancashire-based healthcare, chemicals and paint firm will take the Primera, launched on September 1, and the QX executive saloon.

Akzo also takes vehicles from Ford and Vauxhall and drivers can choose which marque they drive.
