Ziggi | Jun 25, 2010 | Comments 3

The MV-1 is the only purpose-built vehicle that was designed from the ground up for wheelchair accessibility.
Expected to sell for about $40,000 for the base vehicle, the Vehicle Production Group already has 4,000 orders with 40% of those for vans that run on compressed natural gas.
The MV-1 meets or exceeds Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) vehicle guidelines, features an incredibly durable body-on-frame vehicle architecture, and is the only vehicle in its class with an available Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) engineered and assembled Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) fueling system option.
- The integrated deployable ramp has a shallow ramp angle, an anti-slip surface, and is stored under the floor of the vehicle so you don’t lose any interior space.
- The optional power ramp deploys at different aspect ratios to address various vehicle entry and exit scenarios.
- 36″ by 56″ doorway featuring low step-in that allows easy entry for all passengers.
- Best-in-class interior room, seating up to 6 comfortably.
- Passengers in wheelchairs or scooters can easily enter and turn effortlessly, so they can sit next to the driver.
- Commercial driver’s seat for maximum operator comfort.

It’s not cheap but if you bought a minivan and then tricked it out with the adaptive equipment you would pay just as much.
I agree . By the time i paid for my son’s van and the lift, etc install, it was about $40,000. I think it’s about time.
this is awesome but how much extra will driving controls be???
My van cost me 106,000 once all the needed equipment was installed. Then they didn’t consider the weight of my chair and now I have to try to trade in the thing and get a full size van because my chair is over the weight capacity for the ramp. Voc Rehab has washed their hands of it.
