the nysa van was produced in the town of nysa, poland, from 1958 until 1994. the nysa was based on the same chassis as the angular shaped żuk van, but had rounded body lines, especially the two-part rounded windshield, and was considered more comfortable and a better fit for carrying people. the basic body variant was a universal van, for cargo or persons, with sliding doors on the right or conventional doors (marked with a letter t - "towos"). at the rear, most variants had a single door opening to the left side.
