Yaya Touré stars in new Nissan ‘Truckerball' film

- New Nissan video showcases an innovative take on traditional football, dubbing the new sport 

- ‘Truckerball' Top football player, Yaya Touré, guest stars at the wheel of a Nissan NT400 Cabstar

- Highlights Nissan's wide range of LCVs, which includes the pioneering 100% electric Nissan e­NV200 

Nissan has teamed up with its UEFA Champions League ambassador Yaya Touré, to create the first ever game of ‘Truckerball' ­ a football match like no other. 

Filmed to celebrate Nissan's award­winning light commercial vehicle (LCV) range, the video shows a fleet of NT400 Cabstars with their flatbeds especially converted to make different parts of a football pitch. Two teams of freestyle footballers are seen performing impressive trick shots on the NT400 Cabstars as they drive around a deserted warehouse, simulating a game of football ­ personalised by Nissan as ‘Truckerball'. 

Not only is the whole football pitch on wheels, but the entire feature is driven by, and supported with, Nissan's LCV range. The game is officiated by an agile mobile referee in a black, all­electric e­NV200 van and spectators follow the action on the award winning Nissan Navara, while another NT400 Cabstar is used as the mobile scoreboard. 

The match comes to an exciting finish as Touré is revealed as a driver behind the wheel of one of the NT400 Cabstar ‘pitches'.

Nissan's UEFA Champions League ambassador, Touré, commented: "I was really excited to take part in this project and it was a lot of fun working with the guys to co­ordinate the vehicles and players. I think the video looks fantastic and shows off a fun new take on football." 

Gareth Dunsmore, Marketing Communications General Manager, Nissan Europe, added: "Nissan is about ‘innovation that excites' and the Truckerball film perfectly embodies that brand spirit. ‘Truckerball' is our unique version of football, adding a dynamic element to the sport whilst demonstrating the versatility and power of Nissan's LCV range. 

Businesses all over Europe are choosing to buy Nissan LCVs because of the variety of options we offer our customers and the way the vehicles have been designed to cater for every possible need, whilst retaining high levels of style, comfort, quality and above all exceptional durability and power." 

Nissan has one of the widest ranges of LCVs in Europe, including the first ever 100% electric commercial van, the pioneering e­NV200. With large, cleverly designed cargo spaces and the latest technological features as options including Around View Monitor (AVM) and Connect Navi, Nissan's LCV range makes a perfect match for small and medium­sized enterprises.
