| Patsy's Bus Sales is proud to be your New Hampshire dealer for the Vehicle Production Group, LLC, headquartered in South Florida and to introduce the new MV-1. The MV-1 is the first mobility vehicle that was designed from the ground up for wheelchair accessibility and is proudly built in America. It already meets or exceeds the guidelines of the American with Disabilities Act (ADA) from the moment it rolls of the assembly line. With an extra-wide door and a ramp that deploys from within the floor, it is incredibly accessible. Its spacious interior features an open area next the the driver, perfect for transporting just about anything. Designed for wheelchair accessibility, yet well-suited for a variety of uses, you'll be amazed at what the MV-1 can do for you. Whatever you need to do, wherever you need to go, one vehicle can handle it all: the MV-1. Click here to take a virtual tour of the MV-1. |

Accessibility
Having the ability to enter and exit a mobility vehicle quickly and smoothly is one of your top priorities. So we made it one of our top priorities when developing the MV-1. It was engineered for you using the principles of Universal Design, which allows for ease of accessibility regardless of your mobility situation or any disability you may have. With a deployable ramp capable of holding up to 1,200 lbs., a low step-in floor and extremely spacious entryway and interior, the MV-1 provides you with accessibility that is unmatched by any other wheelchair accessible van.
|
| Accessibility Features |
- The integrated deployable ramp has a shallow ramp angle, an anti-slip surface, and is stored under the floor of the vehicle so you don't lose any interior space.
- The optional power ramp deploys at different aspect ratios to address various vehicle entry and exit scenarios.
- 36" by 56" doorway featuring low step-in that allows easy entry for all passengers.
- Best-in-class interior room, seating up to 6 comfortably.
- Passengers in wheelchairs or scooters can easily enter and turn effortlessly, so they can sit next to the driver.
- Commercial driver's seat for maximum operator comfort

Durability
You can take comfort knowing the MV-1 was built like a truck: strong and dependable. From a reliable body-on-frame vehicle architecture to a smart suspension system, it is as durable as it is accessible. We designed the MV-1 with input from fleet owners and drivers, and then road tested it relentlessly in some of the most brutal conditions we could create. But we didn't simply focus on drivability. The deployable ramp, which allows you to enter and exit with ease, has been tested to the extreme through continuous deployment for months at a time. All of this testing ensures that it works every single time you need it. |
| Durability Features |
- A body-on-frame design: the MV-1's frame mounts to the body to create a rigid structure that supports the drivetrain.
- Fully boxed and tubed supportive cross members to provide additional frame stiffness and durability.
- Built like a truck, yet rides like a car:
- Front Short Long Arm (SLA) suspension that provides a tight turning radius and a rack and pinion steering gear.
- A de Dion rear suspension with steel leaf springs and air shocks to deliver an extremely comfortable ride for all passengers.
- Ford 4.6L 2V EFI V8 Engine.
- Ford Electronic 4-speed Automatic Transmission with Overdrive.
- The frame is coated with a rust inhibitor to increase longevity of the vehicle.

Green Option
The MV-1 proves you can be more mobile and more environmentally friendly. It is the only vehicle in its class with an available OEM engineered and assembled Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) fueling system option. Because it's factory-installed, the MV-1 with CNG option gives you the same durability, reliability and quality that everyone demands from gasoline-powered vehicles. And, since natural gas is primarily a domestic resource, the CNG MV-1, with an estimated 290-mile range, is good for the environment and good for America. Now everyone can breathe easier.
|
| CNG Features |
- Unique CNG fueling system option designed and factory-installed, not an aftermarket conversion.
- Estimated 290-mile CNG range (which includes a 40-mile low level indicator).
- Three Type-3 CNG tanks integrated seamlessly into the vehicle design and factory-installed.
- Best-in-class luggage capacity (29.1 cubic feet).
- 21.1 Gasoline Gallon Equivalent (GGE).

VPG and Clean Energy
VPG has a strategic partnership with Clean Energy to capitalize on its extensive experience with CNG and its fueling infrastructure. Clean Energy is the largest provider of CNG for fleets in North America and is continuing to expand its CNG fueling infrastructure throughout North America. |

Safety
For your protection, safety features are integrated throughout the MV-1. Starting with the anti-slip surface which covers the ramp and interior floor to give wheelchairs and scooters increased grip. While on the road, the MV-1 has Electronic Stability Control (ESC) to keep your ride steady. With passive and active safety features, it offers unprecedented peace of mind for mobility vehicle passengers and drivers. The MV-1 meets all applicable U.S. Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS) and Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (CMVSS).
