Vans & Light Commercial Vehicles
Minibus Base Vehicle
Long-wheelbase van platform prepared for a minibus conversion of nine to twenty-two seats, including school, care and shuttle work. The conversion, not the base vehicle, sets the final seat count.
Features
- Reinforced floor and side structure with rated seat anchorage positions.
- Step or powered step at the side door, with handrails on both sides of the aperture.
- Seat layout planned against gross weight, since each passenger and their luggage counts towards it.
- Wheelchair lift or ramp and securement positions available, each replacing seats.
- Additional heating for the rear saloon, which a standard van system does not cover.
