The New Conversions
These two new L4H2 Mercedes Sprinter minibus conversions for National Star College, can facilitate up to 16 passengers or 5 wheelchairs with some seats removed. Both new minibuses feature our exclusive fold-out low-entry side step, ensuring safe and dignified boarding for passengers with mobility needs. At the rear of the vehicle, we have installed a PLS underfloor tail lift, which easily deploys to provide safe and hassle-free access for wheelchair passengers.
The interior of each vehicle has been adapted to accommodate a range of accessibility requirements and includes removable passenger seating, wheelchair restraint storage boxes, upper cant rail tracking, passenger heating and air conditioning, and more. To maintain the premium feel expected of a Mercedes Sprinter, all seats have been upholstered in a blue patterned moquette, with wipe clean seat bases. The interior of the passenger cabin has been trimmed in soft-feel materials with matching patterned moquette feature panels, LED blue / white roof lights and a skylight. Take a look at the full specification below.
