Paratransit ProMaster City and ProMaster Vans
Originally posted on Automotive Fleet
The ProMaster City five-passenger wagon was adopted for paratransit use.
The front driver's seat of the ProMaster City is a power seat that swivels out of the vehicle for easier entry.
The paratransit ProMaster Mobility WorkVan has a 136-inch wheelbase and standard roof.
Right-hand side accelerator and brake pedals were added to the ProMaster City. Right-side foot controls have several usages, including mobility rehabilitation driving instructors, driver training vehicles, rural postal carriers, and newspaper home delivery.
A rear power lift for motorized scooters was added to the inside of the ProMaster City.
The ProMaster City's rear power lift retracts out of the van.
Mike Pultorak, Ram's commercial van product planning manager, demonstrated how to transfer from a wheelchair to the power swiveling driver's seat in the ProMaster full-size van.
