Premcar, the Victoria-based engineering company – has built its 5,000th new vehicle.

The milestone was set with a Nissan Navara PRO-4X Warrior rolling off its production line at its Epping facility. The vehicle is part of Nissan’s Warrior by Premcar series, a new-vehicle enhancement program that takes selected model variants from Nissan’s new-vehicle range and re-engineers and re-develops them for Australia’s driving conditions.

Dual-cab 4×4 Navara pick-up models from the PRO-4X and SL model grades are shipped from Nissan’s overseas assembly plants to Premcar’s Epping production facility for secondary new-vehicle manufacturing and completion.

At Premcar, these vehicles are fitted with their Australian-designed-and-engineered components, which have all been developed by Premcar for Nissan.

The Nissan Navara Warrior by Premcar program began in 2019 with the Navara N-Trek Warrior by Premcar. The sprogram continued with the Navara PRO-4X Warrior by Premcar, and then the Navara SL Warrior by Premcar in 2022.

In September last year, Nissan Australia and Premcar announced the Y62-series Patrol would join the program. The 298kW 4×4 Patrol Warrior SUV is currently undergoing its Australian re-engineering and manufacturing development program. Premcar is scheduled to commence manufacturing and assembly in Australia later this year.
