That could also be a Florida Group that has been around more then 5 years and trying to break into the commercial Taxi and Transport Industry. The company's name escape me now but I will have more info tomorrow. I know production began last October at the Old Humvie Factory in South Bend. No costs have been provided on the vehicle, but it is not being marketed as a consumer vehicle. The Taxi Industry doesn't like this new design because repair parts and components must be purchased directly from the manufacturer which controls the price. Taxi companies like to purchase their parts and components from the open markets. Best Wishes In a message dated 9/1/2011 6:28:14 P.M. Central Daylight Time, [email protected] writes:
While I was having a discussion with a wheelchair technician today he mentioned a new vehicle which he saw as a mobility show last month. 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
