ZEV 511 NANO VAN
DRIVE IN MOBILITY TRANSPORTER
The ZEV Nano Van, Wheelchair Transporter was designed to offer disabled persons who are confined to wheelchairs or power wheelchairs, a low cost option to mega expensive converted large vans.
The ZEV Nano Van is constructed to be fully compliant with USA and EEC vehicle rules having turn signals, headlights and taillights, brake lights, backup lights, license plate lights, speedometer and odometer. It is further compliant under the rules for an NEV or SLV having a speed of not more than 25 mph (or in km equivalent in non USA countries). For those country or states requiring slower speeds, the vehicle maximum speed can be set according to the destination legal requirements.
The standard battery is a 60 ah silicate lead battery which in testing showed a range possible of 60 miles. A lithium battery is also available as an option.
For units sold in the USA a custom fit to your chair box is fitted into the car floor. This constrains the chair from coming forward or sideways in a low speed impact. A series of mounting holes to allow for straps to be fitted at different intervals to reflect the construction of different chairs. These straps hold the chair down inside the box to prevent it from lifting. It is assumed that the power chair itself will have a seatbelt for the driver. An additional seatbelt can be installed bolted into the car as an option.
