Wheelchair-Accessible Conversion for Toyota Proace City Verso Electric

We converted a Toyota Proace City Verso Electric in the long L2 body into a wheelchair-accessible vehicle — a battery-electric passenger van that carries a wheelchair user with no lift, no platform and no trailer.
The conversion is built on the B-Style eK9 platform, a system that has been in continuous development since 1973. The core of it is the lowered floor: the rear section of the floorpan is replaced so the wheelchair sits at a normal seating height with proper head clearance, and the ramp angle stays shallow enough to push a chair up without a winch. Because the floor drops, the second-row seats are remounted on new seat legs, and the rear bumper is modified with reinforced gas struts on the tailgate so it holds clear of the ramp.
What the conversion includes
B-Style eK9 lowered-floor wheelchair conversion, L2 body
Folding ramp with a fold-up tip, shaped to keep the rear-view mirror clear
Braun wheelchair restraint system, 3.0 m
5-point belt anchorage meeting European requirements
Rear bumper modification with reinforced tailgate gas struts
Second-row seats remounted on new legs over the lowered floor
24-month warranty with no mileage limit
The point of a conversion like this is that the vehicle still works as an ordinary family car. The ramp folds away inside, the passenger seats stay usable, and the finish is trim rather than clinical — which matters on a vehicle that does the school run on Monday and a hospital appointment on Tuesday.
The electric base vehicle is a genuine advantage here. Loading a wheelchair takes a few minutes at the kerb every single time, and on a Proace City Verso Electric that happens with no idling engine, no exhaust at the rear of the vehicle where the passenger is, and very little noise.
We convert passenger vans for wheelchair access on Toyota, Volkswagen, Ford, Mercedes-Benz, Renault and Peugeot base vehicles, and deliver them with the documentation needed for registration.
