Autospecs our parent company also operates japanesenewcars.com and has recently released an updated version of the web site and in doing so have added a section dedicated to new disability vehicles. This section covers all new and current disability vehicle models currently produced in Japan by the major manufacturers such as Toyota, Nissan, Honda, Mazda etc and has detailed pictures and descriptions for those who are disabled, aged or mobility impaired or those who care for them they can see and understand the great concepts and designs available.
The disability vehicles being produced these days have evolved some what from a few years ago and come in numerous models and configurations such as self drive with hand controls, swivel front seat loaders, wheel chair lifts, wheel chair access ramps and detachable seats that double as actual wheel chairs. All these vehicles are also available in used condition.
With the ageing population in Japan (20% of the population in Japan is now 65 or older) the choices for disabled people wanting mobility have never been better.
