Side Door Entry Configurations

Easy access from the curb 

A side door entry configuration offers a practical solution for wheelchair users who want safe and convenient access straight from the curb. With automated ramps and low-floor engineering, these vehicles are designed to make boarding and departing smooth and straightforward. This option is especially popular in urban areas, where rear access may be limited by traffic or parking space.
