When using an electric wheelchair, its user has difficulty transferring to a car. The wheelchair itself is also heavier. Our solution to this problem consists of modifying delivery vans. The electric wheelchair user can easily get into the car using an electro-hydraulic platform through the rear doors. These can be easily opened without unnecessary physical effort using a remote control.

Vans with a flat floor that do not have a step separating the rear of the vehicle are suitable for these modifications. Ideal examples include the Volkswagen Transporter, Citroen Spacetourer (Peugeot Traveller/Toyota Proace/Opel Zafira 2020), Ford Custom since 2021 or larger vans such as the Opel Movano. We are always happy to advise you on the modifications that are suitable for your vehicle. We will modify the vehicle for driving from a swivel seat or directly from an electric wheelchair.

Technical design

All modifications we make to vehicles are subject to approval by the Ministry of Transport and are recorded in the technical certificate. If necessary, we will also arrange for an assessment at the TÜV testing center. This gives you the assurance that the modified vehicle is completely safe and reliable.

In the vehicle, you will move to a seat that is electrically adjustable in all positions. You can adjust it to the most comfortable position for your wheelchair, move into it, and then adjust the seat to a comfortable driving position. We will also install our proven and certified hand controls in the vehicle to suit your needs.

Variable steering and entry solutions

During a personal consultation, we will work with you to assess how you will operate the vehicle and what modifications will be necessary. We will install the appropriate type of lift in the vehicle to suit your needs. We will use electric door closing and connect remote control. Depending on your requirements, we will also modify the floor, wheelchair anchoring, or hand controls. We will customize everything to make the solution as convenient as possible for you.
