Peugeot Impulse - Drive from Wheelchair & Up-front Passenger - i dont like peugeot or any french stuff but small, cheap diesel option so economical drive from wheelchair or ride up front car: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4-KO-79vjVw

Citroën Berlingo Drive from Wheelchair and/or Passenger Upfront Much the same as the first one... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3JIeAIzRNfU

Volkswagen Caddy Sirus Drive From Wheelchair also deseasel option, slow to get in and out like the bigger chryslers, but better build quality. Narrow track to get to driver position. Maybe available with empty floor like the peugeot is? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S6GCelRD5Hk

What do you think about the Kia soul emotion by kivi in Italy?

I'm trying to build a wheelchair driver accessible vehicle with similar dimensions to the Kia soul

Hyundai creta dimensions resized.jpg


I'm able to get 59 inches of cabin height with an 8 inch drop in the floor. Seated in the wheelchair I am about 55 inches. Problem is after an 8 inch drop in the floor, I will only have 4 inches of ground clearance and will need to use airbags to raise the right height.

I'm having trouble sourcing the ECU electronics , actuators and remote to

1) open the rear hatch
2) lower the ramp
3) integrate with and lower /raise pneumatic suspension
4) electronic parking brake

If anyone knows of a WAV converter willing to sell these parts (anywhere in the world) please let me know. They seem pretty generic because all of the rear entry WAV's use similar looking actuators.

Rear hatch actuator on the right


Thanks
