Nissan Malaysia

As of 2009/2010, the A15 is the engine in Nissan C22 Vanette, which is an older Vanette design still sold by Nissan Malaysia.

There’s a good reason why the NISSAN Vanette is perfectly suited for the times. It’s tough and as experienced as a crusty army sergeant. And it has a strong heart. The proven NISSAN A15 engine puts other van engines to shame. It boasts of reliability and inexpensive maintenance with easy availability of parts. So having a big maintenance budget is never an issue. Especially with its renowned fuel-economy. No wonder the NISSAN Vanette has become so popular in Malaysia. http://www.nissan.com.my/vehicles/vanette/index.html

In 2012 the C22 Vanette was replaced by the NV200 Panel Van with HR16DE engine.
