The Mv1 Van, a groundbreaking vehicle specifically engineered for wheelchair users and individuals with disabilities, has long been recognized as a leader in accessible transportation. Manufactured by Mobility Ventures LLC in America, the MV-1 stands out as the only vehicle designed from the ground up to meet the unique needs of the mobility community. Building upon its legacy of innovation, Mobility Ventures unveiled the revolutionary 2016 MV1 van model, introducing a suite of new features designed to enhance independence, comfort, and convenience for both drivers and passengers. This updated model reinforces the MV1 van‘s position as the undisputed champion in providing accessible transportation solutions.
Key Enhancements in the 2016 MV1 Van
The 2016 MV1 van model marked a significant step forward in accessible vehicle technology, headlined by the introduction of a power passenger door. This innovative feature, operated effortlessly via a remote keyless fob, grants wheelchair users an unprecedented level of autonomy. Imagine the ease and independence of entering and exiting the vehicle without requiring assistance – this is the reality the power passenger door brings to MV1 van owners.
Furthermore, this power passenger door is designed to seamlessly integrate with other accessibility features of the MV1 van. When paired with MV-1’s signature side-entry power ramp and the newly available optional power liftgate, it creates a comprehensive system of automated functions. This integrated approach underscores the MV1 van‘s commitment to providing a holistic and user-friendly accessible transportation experience. Whether you are a wheelchair passenger or driver, the 2016 MV1 van offers a suite of features designed to simplify and enhance your mobility.
Pat Kemp, Executive Vice President of Mobility Ventures, emphasized the company’s dedication to user needs, stating, “The 2016 MV1 van is the undisputed leader in transportation for people with disabilities. The evolution of the MV1 van reflects our passion for producing a vehicle that combines affordability and durability with comfort and safety for all passengers.” He further added, “The enhancements to the 2016 MV1 van make this versatile, universally accessible vehicle an even better choice for consumers, government fleets and taxi markets.” This commitment to continuous improvement and user-centric design is at the heart of the MV1 van philosophy.
Celebrating Accessibility and the MV1 Van
The launch of the 2016 MV1 van was strategically timed to coincide with the 25th Anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), a landmark event held in New York City. This symbolic timing highlighted the MV1 van’s role in embodying the spirit and goals of the ADA, which champions inclusivity and accessibility for all.
Former Senator Tom Harkin, the principal author of the ADA, personally previewed the vehicle in New York. His endorsement carried significant weight, as he proclaimed, “I have always thought that my most important work in the United States Senate was passage of the Americans with Disabilities Act… Mobility is central to leading a full life. I salute Mobility Ventures for making a difference and improving life for so many.” Senator Harkin’s praise underscored the MV1 van‘s real-world impact on enhancing the lives of people with disabilities.
