Freedom for All

20/06/2007

Wheelchair users and their families will appreciate exactly how important it can be to have accessible transport available whenever they need it.  That's why hundreds of people throughout the UK are now enjoying the independence and freedom that owning a car with full wheelchair access has given them.

From Scotland to Wales and Norfolk to Cumbria, wheelchair users have been given a new lease of life made possible by the spacious and affordable Fiat Freedom - Motabilty's first NIL Advance Payment wheelchair accessible vehicle.

Affordable
Owning a specially adapted cars with full wheelchair access was once beyond the budget of many wheelchair users.  However more and more people are now discovering the products on offer at Allied Vehicles, the UK's leading manufacturer and provider of wheelchair accessible vehicles.  Allied's customers can now choose from not only one but four wheelchair accessible cars available through the Mobility scheme at Nil Advance Payment.

Popular
Allied's most popular WAV to date has been the roomy Fiat Freedom, adapated from the reliable Fiat Doblo.  Julian Chambers, 34 and his carer Emma are just two Allied Vehicles customers who have chosen a Fiat Freedom in order to make their travelling easier.

Out & About
Transporting Julian, who has multiple sclerosis, in his wheelchair used to be something of a difficult and expensive task but things changed when he purchased his new mobility car.

"The vehicle is absolutely wonderful.  It's given Julian a new lease of life and things are just so much easier now!" said Emma, who is Julian's full time care assistant. 

Emma also explained how Julian's new Freedom has helped improve the social side of Julian's life: "Now I can take him to the cinema, the library, out to meet friends or wherever he wants to go".

Easy Does It
The Cole family of Birmingham needed a vehicle that would be suitable to transport their daughter Lisa in her wheelchair and came to Allied for help.  Lisa, 27, is mentally and physically disabled and is a wheelchair user so requires a suitable car to take her to the places she wants to go.  The features of the Fiat Freedom perfectly matched Lisa's needs.

"Our new car has helped a lot," said Lisa.  "The Freedom has an electric winch that we can use to help me in easily".

Another fan is Scott Dyson. He decided to go for the Fiat Freedom to help him in his routine journeys to college.  Now Scott and his carer Michelle find travelling much easier.

"Our Freedom is great, it has really helped me out with getting wherever I want to go." said Scott.

The Fiat Freedom has fast become one of the UK's most popular vehicles with full wheelchair access.  Exclusive to Allied the Freedom includes a lightweight, folding ramp and an electric winch system, as well as a safe and secure wheelchair restraint system for maximum comfort, convenience and safety.  A choice of Freedom models is available on the Motability Scheme at Nil Advance Payment, including attractive extras like electric windows, air conditioning and CD player as standard.
