The car has a raised roof (this design mastered previously under isothermal and refrigerated versions, as well as social taxi), and with additional glazing, in addition, the increased height of the back flaps under the top edge, allowing you to roll in the car the disabled person directly into the stroller without replanting using a ramp for which there was modified the rear bumper. 

In the cabin kept only three chairs, and a wheelchair is located in the former trunk, which is specially equipped with four securing straps wheelchair – two in front and behind, also, for the person in the wheelchair is designed and personalized seat belt.

 Apparel made legalislative, but the help of a companion to enter the wheelchair in the car as needed. 

the body has a corresponding graph. Valued this car at ₽980 thousand of which ₽425 thousand had the cost of completion. While vis-a Car certified the car for the release of limited quantities.

Another vehicle was created by "String technology", owned by the Belarusian venture company crowdinvesting SkyWay, vehicle access, wheelchair users directly to the machine control.



Specifically, the device developed by designer Alexander Sinkevich, at one time worked on the project e-mobility.



Wheelchair access is via a door in the stern and a special lift. Although the electric vehicle weighs 1000 kg and is so compact that it can Park perpendicular to the sidewalk that it is more convenient for the landing of persons with disabilities.



A electric power reserve of 120 km and maximum speed of 100 km/h (i.e. a full car of category M1) allows disabled people much more mobility, although the time slow charging is 10 hours, and quick is not provided.



But the passenger seat is also Autonomous i.e. on rollers, allowing it to rearrange to the steering wheel and driving the car on traditional. By the way, and herself a wheelchair with a mass of 26 kg original on the basis of car seats to meet the requirements of the crash test for the protection of the neck. It is also already certified as a medical device. There are plans to equip the wheelchair with Autonomous electric drive, with electric it will be fixed one lock that was problematic (especially given the relatively high maximum speed), but on assurances g-on Senkevich all of these obstacles can be overcome.



Also, there are side swing doors, and hinged on the rear hinges. Similar transporters-microcare known the West has long been (both back and front of arrivals-departure stroller). However the prospects of the project are directly dependent on the fate of the SkyWay company, business reputation which is quite questionable..
