Dare to Dream with Allied Mobility’s New Internal Transfer WAV

We’re delighted to announce the launch of our very first Internal Transfer WAV (wheelchair accessible vehicle) – Ford Dream™.

Wheelchair Driving

Some disabled drivers prefer transferring from their wheelchair or powerchair and driving from a specialised seat.  With Dream’s™ one-touch automatic tailgate open and wheelchair ramp unfold, there’s no need to transfer at the side of a busy road or in poor weather.  You can safely enter your vehicle and transfer inside.  From there, you can secure your wheelchair or powerchair before transferring to the six-way electric and adjustable seat and manoeuvre it until you find your optimum driving or front passenger position.

Emily’s Thoughts 

We asked accessibility consultant, journalist and speaker, Emily Rose Yates, to join us for the day to test drive our Internal Transfer vehicle.  Emily, who currently transfers from her wheelchair to a standard car, said:

“Ford Dream™ provides an experience like no other. Whilst using it, I felt a real sense of independence, autonomy and ease. From being able to open the boot and see the ramp fold out with the touch of a button, to having the opportunity to transfer from my wheelchair and onto the (extremely comfy) adjustable driver’s seat with dignity and privacy once in the vehicle, it was admittedly tough to revert back to my standard car!”

Personalisation of Your Internal Transfer WAV 

If you are completely new to driving as a wheelchair user, our mobility advisors can help you assess which driving adaptations, hand controls and aids will help to make your journey as comfortable as possible.  There are many different options to choose from depending on your disability and every driver is different which is why we customise your Dream™ to suit your needs.  If you already drive a standard car with adaptations, we can replicate these in your Dream™.

Stylish Stand Out

Dream™ is based on the Ford Tourneo Custom Titanium spec so comes with an abundance of brilliant features.  If you’re looking for your Internal Transfer WAV to offer some style, Dream™ has you covered.  With alloy wheels, body-coloured bumpers and daytime running lights, you’ll certainly look the part.

And it’s not just style that Dream™ offers.  Safety is paramount when you’re driving so your vehicle comes complete with a colour reversing camera so you can reverse park, complete a three point turn or reverse from your drive with complete confidence of knowing what’s going on behind you.

Tech-tastic

Inside, Dream™ offers up some amazing tech features like an 8” colour touch screen, DAB Radio, Bluetooth and USB connectivity.  With Ford SYNC, you can connect and mirror your mobile phone*, and enjoy all of your favourite apps like Google Maps and Spotify.  Remember to only operate any of your vehicle features when it’s safe to do so.

HomeStay™ Service

With Allied Mobility, you’ll also benefit from our team of highly trained mobile technicians who are situated throughout the UK.  With their mobile service vans, they’re on hand to visit your home to provide your yearly vehicle safety check, Ford service or for any mishaps you might have.  This means you won’t have to visit a garage as we’ll come to you.

As Dream™ is a specialised vehicle, you’ll meet your own personal mobility consultant who will be with you every step of the way.  From initially chatting through your needs to test driving the vehicle, picking your adaptations and all your aftercare, they’ll be on hand whenever you need.  Dream™ is available both on the Motability Scheme and to purchase outright.
