Many disabled people are perfectly capable of driving, but need to be assessed by an Occupational Therapist. Other disabled people may not drive, but require a modified vehicle to provide access, either in a wheelchair, or just with the aid of a seat which swivels, or extends out of the vehicle, or even becomes a detachable wheelchair.
The Vehicle Modifications require Certification to ensure that the safety of the vehicle occupants, and the safety of other road users is ensured.
This picture shows the docking stations, which can accomodate either standard seats, or wheelchairs.
This picture shows a side-mounted wheelchair hoist.
The vehicle shown as an example is based on a a Volkswagen Caravelle, constructed by Van Extras in Auckland.
