Next October, the MV-1, the first factory-built wheelchair-accessible vehicle designed to meet needs of the paratransit, taxi, and consumer market will roll off the assembly line. Vehicle Production Group will produce the MV-1 at the AM General plant in Mishawaka, Indiana, where HUMVEEs and Hummer H2s are made.
The MV-1 is the first production vehicle in the United States to meet or exceed the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) vehicle guidelines. Unlike other wheelchair-accessible vehicles, it is not a conversion or aftermarket retrofit—and it will come in a gasoline or natural gas powered version.
