Ford Custom Independence Titanium RS/RE: this multi-passenger vehicle is ideal for larger families or small groups requiring wheelchair accessible transport. Based on the Ford Tourneo Custom, Independence has undergone a revamp, both internally and externally. Powered by Ford’s Eco Blue 2.0-liter engine, the vehicle features improved fuel efficiency and ultralow emissions, while retaining ample driving power. Perfect for larger families or small groups, Independence brings unbeatable flexibility. With numerous spacious seating layouts on offer, all passengers can travel in comfort. See our model choice for all seating options.

Our classic model RS is available in a wide range of seating layouts accommodating drivers, wheelchair passengers, and up to five seated passengers. With the fixed seat positions, you have the option to have one or two seats on either side of the wheelchair.

The RE has been specially designed with a lowered floor to provide extra headroom, ideal for taller wheelchair users or those with a higher wheelchair or powerchair. The Easy Fold ramp has a low gradient, making wheelchair entry and exit easy and hassle-free.

If you require a wheelchair accessible vehicle with ample space for two wheelchairs, the Twin model is for you. With all models in the Independence™ family, you can alter the seating capacity to gain more space within the vehicle if this suits your needs.

There’s also the option of an electric winch if you do need extra help. Once inside, the wheelchair user is secured by high quality, front and rear wheelchair restraints, while lap and diagonal seat belts ensure optimum safety.
