Adapted vehicles for passengers

This section includes cars, vans, minibuses/coaches, bikes/scooters and caravans that have been adapted to provide access into and out of the vehicle, and/or support while inside. 

Adaptations may include wheelchair anchorage points or tracking, wheelchair lifts and ramps which could be either side or for rear access, hoists which includes overhead powered hoists; interior raised roof space and seating layout to provide more space and access, and adaptations to driver's controls and seating.

Minibuses have a maximum seating capacity of 16 passengers in standard seating or provide space for up to six passengers using wheelchairs.

Minicoaches have a standard seating capacity for more than 16 passengers and capacity to provide space for up to eight passengers using wheelchairs. Access is by steps at the side entrance and a tail lift to the rear of the vehicle.

Caravans are either motorised (often referred to as Camper vans) or trailer (they are pulled behind a car). Adaptations may additionally include low storage cupboards, work surfaces,  and detachable tables, seating that converts to a single or double bed, reclining, swivel front seats with headrests, and adaptations to hand controls or example, on cooker and storage units, some with infrared controls.

Vehicles powered by motorcycle petrol engines include some that will convey the driver in a wheelchair and most vehicles will carry only one or two people.
