Description:
Callum and Motability have teamed up to design a next-generation electric minibus with wheelchair users in mind<br/><br/>UK-based company Motability Operations and design studio Callum have revealed the eVITA concept, an all-electric minibus designed to support the mobility of wheelchair users.<br/><br/>eVITA was designed and developed by Callum with input from Motability Operations' customer clinics. Designed as a next-generation electric wheelchair accessible vehicle (eWAV) concept, eVITA addresses the most common issues with EV conversions, including limited interior height due to floor-mounted batteries, accessibility and practicality.<br/><br/>The eVITA has a similar footprint to the Citroen Berlingo, measuring 4,520 mm (178 in) long, 1,908 mm (75.1 in) wide and 1,800 mm (70.9 in) high, with a wheelbase of 2,980 mm (117.3 in). The exterior design is quite modern, adopting a short hood, a large greenhouse and very short overhangs.<br/><br/>The highlight of the concept is the split tailgate with integrated low-angle ramp that provides easy access from the rear. This is joined by four more doors on the sides, two traditional and two sliding. When the vehicle is parked, LED puddle lights highlight the area where the ramp will be located at the rear to alert other drivers.<br/><br/>The repackaged battery is placed in a low position behind the first row of seats, ensuring that the floor is completely level so that the wheelchair can move freely. Additionally, the hatchback-style ride height of 160 mm (6.3 inches) and lower seating position means the wheelchair user sits at a similar height to other passengers.<br/><br/>The 50 kWh battery offers an estimated range of approximately 200 miles (322 km) and can supplement energy from dual charging ports, one at the rear and the other at the front. Another engineering focus was the highly damped rear suspension, which offers a supple ride and predictable handling with minimal body roll thanks to its low center of gravity. Finally, the engineering team used lightweight materials whenever possible; thus, the EV was compatible with the high payload requirements of onboard equipment.<br/><br/>The wheelchair user also has access to the infotainment screen, heating and air conditioning controls, as well as a customizable \

The covers are now removed and we are presented with a slightly larger and very symmetrical design that provides a great effect.<br/><br/>You'll immediately notice that Nissan's signature V-Motion grille is gone. In fact, there is not a single reference to V-Motion anywhere in the Kicks press release. However, when you look closely at the new face, you will see traces of the old design language. The openings in the fin grille slope inwards, culminating in a protrusion at the top of the fascia. At the top, narrow headlights also angle downwards at the inner edges. It's a very clean, square-ish look that extends to the rear with a high, straight beltline.<br/><br/>Things are a little more interesting out back. Nissan keeps the floating roof motif with a two-tone look, and the Kicks \")
