I saw this this morning on the way to work and it really grabbed my attention. I know this is a bit off topic for this site, but I didn't know where else to post it. It appears to say Atlas 150 on the front but when I Google that there is no evidence of this model. m.imgur.com/MbllXEpm.imgur.com/pdqHfB0

Never seen anything like it before. Judging by their other commercial models I would think it highly unlikely to be a Nissan. It looks a bit "Home-made" (and dangerous) and my thoughts are that it may run a Nissan engine, hence the front badging. This doesn't help you at all. Interesting though.

Looks like a cabstar cab/chassis with a purpose built body

Yes, I'd agree - an F22 Cabstar with bodywork designed to maximise storage volume. Toyota have a similar thing called Quick Delivery:

I know this might be/is a bit weird but I was just thinking about crash impact testing on dummies. I think that if a person was hit frontal square-on then the flat front of this would spread the load fairly evenly. A vehicle with a wedge/sloped front would strike around the leg area and cause you to flip and spin as the vehicle carried on through. The Pizza delivery guy's head would strike the glass and not the harder glass/roofline area (much harder). I think we shouls all drive bricks, like this!!
