Just to make things more complicated, Nissan Diesel (the truck division) is now owned by Volvo Trucks (which, unlke Volvo Cars, is not owned by Ford):

The vans (Primastar, etc.) are made by Nissan Motors, the car company.

Answering my own question, thanks to Google and an Alfa-Romeo forum of all things:
Quote In 1956 the FADISA company (Fabricacion de Automoviles Diesel S.A.) was founded in Madrid with the aim to start production of light vans and trucks under license of Alfa Romeo, at the time an important Italian manufacturer of commercial vehicles. A factory was built in Avila and the first vehicle left the assembly line in 1959. It was the Romeo van, called Romeo 2 in Spain. Petrol as well as Perkins Diesel engines were offered in a variety of coach-work options. In 1965, part of the production was moved to Colombia. Plans to produce American-Motors based luxury cars failed.

In 1967 FADISA was taken over by Motor Ibérica. Motor Ibérica also began in 1956, with license-built Ford Thames models. Just as the UK trucks took the name of a major English river, the Thames, so the Spanish-built Fords were called Ebro. The FADISA vans proved a welcome addition to the Ebro trucks program.

The successor to the Romeo van, the F12, was called Ebro F-100 in Spain. From 1971, slightly face-lifted, it was renamed the F-108.

Ebro continued the development of the van, with new modernised bodywork. In 1980 Motor Ibérica was taken over by the Nissan Motor Co.

The Ebro brand was discontinued, and the Ebro van was renamed Nissan Trade. It continued to be built in the Avila works until about 2002, when it was replaced by a Renault-based model. Take a look at the last incarnation of the Alfa Romeo F12 van, the Nissan Trade, and you'll notice that some F12 characteristics such as the boxy look and the typical wheels have been kept till the end.
