"The PV5 is an amazing platform to begin with. It's got vertical walls. For the driver, you'll have a cab-over design that maximizes space and accessibility for passengers."
"BraunAbility has modified the rear of the Sienna to become a deployable ramp so that people in wheelchairs can get into the car without having to get out of their seats."
New York City taxis are diverse, ranging from Camrys to Tesla Model 3s. A mandate requires all taxis to be wheelchair-accessible or electric by 2030. Kia and BraunAbility have developed an electric minivan that accommodates wheelchair users. The modified Toyota Sienna features a deployable ramp for easy access. The new Kia PV5, introduced in 2024, is designed with vertical walls, making it ideal for transporting wheelchair-bound passengers, according to BraunAbility's senior manager.
