History

For the second generation of the Datsun CabstarVan and minibus versions were no longer available, so that only the flatbed was available. The engine was now the Nissan H20-1982 cc gasoline engine with 74 kW / 99 hp used, while the Homer, which was also partially exported as Datsun Homer in some countries to Europe, and the J15 gasoline engine with 57 kW / 77 hp gave. The SD22 diesel engine from the Homer with 48 kW / 65 hp, however, was available at Cabstar for a surcharge.

In 1977, minor improvements were made and built a variant with a longer flatbed and higher body. This version was created specifically for export, which since then officially took place in Europe , while the Cabstar I + II was previously imported only by individual countries such as the Nordic and the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland .

1979, the front was modernized and the engines have been improved due to the amended emission regulations. This model received the code F21. In December 1981, production was discontinued in Japan.SUSPENSION: Front Independent, torsion bar type.Rear Rigid axle. semelliptic leaf springs.BRAKES: Drum with servo .

Starting in 1982, a new model, the Datsun Cabstar F22 was available, which was built by Nissan Motor Ibérica in Barcelona ( Spain ) for Europe. This model was a version of the worldwide offered Nissan Atlas .
