An electric side step is a practical addition to vehicles with high entry points, particularly vans, MPVs, shuttle vehicles, and commercial passenger vehicles. By extending when needed and retracting when not in use, a powered step can make boarding more convenient while preserving side clearance during driving.
Wheelchair accessibility does not end when a passenger enters a vehicle. Once the wheelchair is positioned inside, it must be secured appropriately for transportation, and the passenger must be protected by a suitable occupant restraint system.
For people who have difficulty entering or exiting a vehicle, transferring from a wheelchair to a conventional car seat can be one of the most challenging parts of a journey.
