Could it be the Karsan V1, which recently lost the bid to be New York City's "Taxi of Tomorrow"? It's a Turkish company, I think, with manufacturing facilities in the U.S.. Karsan USA, also has plans to build a unique and exclusive factory service center (in Long Island City, Queens) .

He was really enthusiastic about the vehicle because it has been completely engineered for people in wheelchairs. According to him, it is an American company that is building the vehicles solely for the disabled community. I would provide you with more information, but I cannot figure out what the company is or get a look at the van. He could not room of the name, but thought I could find it on the Internet. If anybody finds out, please let us all know. Two things he did mention were that the vehicle has normal clearance and all of the conversion companies don't like the vehicle. I'm not an engineer, but I suspect they realize it or when this thing gets on the market that it's going to cut in to their profits significantly. According to this gentleman the van is cheaper than the modified vans. Quadius
