Coming soon: Wheelchair minibus conversion for VW E-Crafter

Tribus builts VW E-Crafter wheelchair minibus

Tribus developed a wheelchair conversion for the new VW E-Crafter. The 100% electric wheelchair minibus will be available as a 8+1 with a lowered front entrance and TriflexAIR foldings seats combined with 2 wheelchair places. 

There is a rising demand for zero emission passenger transport in urban area’s. At the same time, the market of ‘clean vehicles’ is limited. Especially if you are talking about a wheelchair minibus that can be driven with a category B license.  With the arrival of the VW E-Crafter wheelchair minibus that is a problem of the past.

Engineers of Tribus worked hard to meet all European guidelines for M1 passenger transport. They met the challenges in weight by using new techniques and high-quality lightweight materials. The gross vehicle weight of the new VW E-Crafter is on 3500 kg and can be driven with a category B driver’s license. The TriflexAIR conversion kit will soon be ready and can be ordered when the VW E-Crafter is available in your country.
