Session Details
Join Michelle and David as they share the work Motability Operations, the organisation that delivers the Motability Scheme to disabled people across the UK and design and engineering house CALLUM are doing to make the transition to electric vehicles simple for users of wheelchair accessible vehicles (WAVs).
Motability Scheme WAV customers have told us what they want from an EV, so in collaboration Motability Operations and Callum have developed a concept solution that addresses the challenges around EV conversion and wheelchair accessibility through thoughtful and inclusive design. They’ll unveil the designs for eVITA, a next-generation electric wheelchair accessible vehicle (eWAV) and share the exciting next steps.
