The E-Ducato is still available this year and has a wider range than the current wheelchair minibuses on the market. 80% CHARGING IN 30 MIN. The Fiat E-Ducato is equipped with a powerful 90 kW electric motor and available in two battery packs of 47 or 79 kWh. The maximum top speed is 100 km/h with a range varying from 180 to 280 km depending on the battery pack. You can charge on route with a fastcharger for 30 minutes or use a regular charging point in 2.5 to 4 hours, depending on the battery pack. New TriflexAIR 2.0 The Tribus wheelchair conversion is standard equipped with the new TriflexAIR 2.0 flooring system. This new innovation is distinguished by its lightweight materials. Due to the weight saving, it is possible to offer multiple configurations and less weight means more energy for a wider range. The vehicle meets all strict European safety guidelines and is officially approve [...]
Our climate is in trouble and we’re in the middle of an energy transition. So many choose to stop using cars with internal combustion engines (ICE). Unfortunately, many drivers and passengers with disabilities can't find an EVs that meet their needs. Why is it so difficult to find an accessible EV?

  • Comments Off on TriflexAIR 2.0 successfully tested by Tribus customers
We bring good news; TriflexAIR 2.0 passed the field test. The last month, customers of Tribus have tested the new system in their daily practice. The flooring system scores high at usability and safety. Thanks to the weight reduction up to 35% fuel consumption can be reduced significantly. 
Lindlar had a number of requirements for their new vehicle, but the Civitas Economy checked them all. And when it comes to the interior design, the new vehicle is similar to the "large regular-service buses" both visually and technically. 
Tribus has developed a conversion for the wheelchair minibus Fiat E-Ducato. Thanks to the new flooring system TriflexAIR 2.0 we can design lighter and accommodate more people. The Fiat E-Ducato can be driven with drivers license B en homologation process has started.

  • Comments Off on Tribus goes to the German fair RettMobil with TriflexAIR
The Dutch company Tribus has entered the German market with their wheelchair restraint solution TriflexAIR. Tribus will present TriflexAIR and a sneakpreview of the ultralight flooring system TriflexAIR 2.0 at RettMobil in Fulda from 11-13 May, booth 6 in hall 6.
Currently, the automobile industry is moving away from internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles and pushing towards electric vehicles (EVs). This industry was built on fossil fuels, and the resulting infrastructure isn’t always EV-friendly.
Light constructing is becoming increasingly important due to new technologies like electric driving. After a period of engineering, the new TriflexAIR 2.0 floor is ready for field testing. The first buses have left our workshop to be subjected to a field test. Our Dutch customers will test the system in their daily practices.
Thanks to a good collaboration between conversion partner Bayer and Tribus we were able to fast deliver a Ford Transit wheelchair bus to the German welfare organization ASB. Thanks to our efforts the Daycare of ASB can now safely transport all their passengers.
