Wheelchair accessible vehicle or nine seaters in UAEHi there, we are moving to Abu Dhabi soon and have been trying to find out if it is possible to buy a wheelchair access vehicle (WAV) in UAE.. so far we have been unable to find any such vehicle so i have been wondering if, alternatively, there would be any nine seaters such as Opel Vivaro or Peugeot Transporter?? i understand that these vehicles have a last row of seats which can be folded up for a wheelchair to fit in with the help of a ramp.. any advice would be greatly appreciated as we come from the UK where WAVs are very common and we find it very strange that we cannot find anything in the UAE considering it is one of the most advanced middle eastern countries and disabled facilities seem to be more advanced than usual!!! even a company which was doing conversions of standard cars for wheelchair access seems to have closed down!! thanks D
Re: Wheelchair accessible vehicle or nine seaters in UAEHey! Welcome to the forums!
Now that you mention it, you are probably right. I've not seen many WAV vehicles during the many years here, although one would expect to see them. I am sure you can specially order these through the dealers of Peugeot or others if they make these commercially. You'll probably have a waiting period for this though. You might want to email the Dubai Center for Special needs dcsneeds@emirates.net.ae and see if someone there can help/guide you on this as they definitely have dealt with a similar issue for their organization. Or another place maybe to inquire can be here: http://www.hga-uae.org.ae/arabic/contact_us.php but the site is in Arabic. You can put name in first line, email in other, and then your inquiry - hopefully the reader would be able to read English. Come and discuss at the most lively forums about Cars, Bikes, 4x4s...at http://www.autodealer.ae at the Autodealer UAE Forums.
