Two New Accessible Minibuses for Independent Care Provider
This week we were pleased to deliver two brand-new accessible minibuses to a growing independent care home company. The group is recognised for running small, community-focused homes with integrity, compassion and a commitment to exceptional dementia, nursing, residential and respite care across the county.
Both vehicles are based on the Volkswagen Crafter L2H2 and can facilitate up to eight passengers plus driver, or three wheelchair users with seats removed. Each conversion has been designed to support safe, comfortable and dignified travel for residents, while providing staff with a practical, easy to use layout.
A Premium Interior Finish
Inside, both minibuses feature a premium interior finished with black vegan leather seating, complete with silver diamond stitching and custom embroidered headrests. The rear saloon is trimmed fully in a grey soft-feel material with black suedeflex roof. To enhance the overall premium feel, the tracker floor has been overlaid with wood-effect non-slip lino.
Accessible Design
Accessible has been prioritised throughout the build. Each vehicle is equipped with a Ricon internal tail lift at the rear, allowing easy boarding for wheelchair users. For comfort in all weather, the minibuses feature Eberspaecher heating and air conditioning, ensuring consistent climate control during journeys.
To support day-to-day operations, both vehicles include a custom-built luggage pen with an integrated side storage box in place of the front cab passenger seat. This area can be utilised to store wheelchairs, shopping trolleys and other essential equipment.
These two new accessible minibuses reflect our customer’s commitment to high-quality care and we’re proud to support their continued growth with vehicles designed to enhance comfort, safety and independence for every passenger.
