A new school year brings plenty to think about, from uniforms to packed lunchboxes. So, whether it’s the school run or after-school activities, take the stress out of your family car journeys with a wheelchair accessible vehicle (WAV).
What is a WAV?
A wheelchair accessible vehicle or WAV for short, is a car that is specially designed and engineered to enable wheelchair users to travel in the vehicle from the safety and comfort of their wheelchair.
Every Allied Mobility passenger WAV comes equipped with the following accessibility features:
- A lowered floor to improve head room.
- An easy-use, lightweight wheelchair ramp.
- An electric-assist winch to help guide the wheelchair user in and out of the vehicle.
The Biggest WAV Range in the UK
As the UK’s leading WAV supplier, we have a wide range of disability vehicles to choose from and an expert mobility team on hand to help find the perfect accessible car for you and your family.
All of our WAVs are designed, engineered and converted on site from leading manufacturer base vehicles such as Peugeot, Ford, Vauxhall, Volkswagen, Citroen and Renault. So, you can be assured that a WAV from Allied Mobility is made for you with precision, care and an unwavering commitment to quality and safety.
What’s more, as our WAVs are converted from leading manufacturer base models, they are packed full of the OEM features you have come to expect from any modern car. These can include:
-
- Colour touchscreens
- Built-in Sat Nav
- Apple CarPlay/ Android Auto
- Reversing Camera
- Parking sensors
- Front and rear air conditioning
Are WAVs Family Cars?
WAVs are definitely suitable for families. Due to their accessibility and wide range of OEM features, a WAV ensures comfort, safety and independence for the whole family.
The lightweight ramp and electric-assist winch make entry and exit of the vehicle fast and simple. Gone are the days of struggling to help your child from their wheelchair to a car’s passenger seat, with a WAV your child can remain in their wheelchair while the electric-assist winch gently pulls them up the ramp and into the vehicle steadily and safely – reducing the risk of strain and injury to both you and your child.
Once inside the WAV, your child will sit alongside siblings and other family members in the second row, making it easy to join in on conversations and car sing-alongs throughout the journey.
Hear Why Families Are Choosing WAVs
The Morrison’s Unlock Ford Freedom™
In their previous mobility car, Lana Morrison’s dad, Paul, had to push Lana’s wheelchair into the car manually, so one of their favourite features in their Ford Freedom™ is the electric-assist winch which comes as standard in all Allied Mobility vehicles and serves to guide the wheelchair user in and out of the vehicle, making entry and exit much easier.
“It’s a new feature, we like it though,” Paul smiles.
Sophia’s First Wheelchair Accessible Vehicle
Sophia Magee’s Peugeot Horizon™ made a huge difference to family life. Based in Northern Ireland, Sophia’s mum, Emma, explains how the WAV has improved travel for Sophia as a wheelchair user:
“It makes life so much easier and it’s so much more comfortable for her.”
