South Shields based converter Vic Young Ltd has been providing wheelchair accessible vehicles for over 20 years. The latest addition to their mobility conversions is an upfront passenger vehicle using the Fiat Doblo model, allowing the disabled passenger to sit side by side with the driver.
Disabled passengers can sit safely and securely beside the driver thanks to nearside wheelchair loading. This is achieved by a ramp which can be manually deployed after the extra wide nearside passenger door and sliding side door have been opened. Space between the up front wheelchair user and the ceiling is not an issue, with up to 5.85” headroom.
Lowered flooring provides eye-line height for the mobility passenger. This is not the only comfort guaranteed by the vehicle; the wheelchair is secured up by a four-point restraint system. Passengers can feel safe with this robust, easy to use operation.
The Fiat Doblo has five points of entry. These include two front doors, two side sliding doors and a rear door that lifts up. Boot space is large which is ideal for storing wheelchairs and extra equipment. Because of the nature of the up front design, there is no loss of seating or luggage space.
The Up Front Fiat Doblo is the perfect mobility vehicle and ticks all the boxes for wheelchair users who wish to sit next to the driver. Due to its intricate specification, the vehicle can be relied upon to continue meeting the requirements of passengers.
