GM Plans Wheelchair Accessible Vehicles




Hummer H2

AM General, the company that makes the Hummer H2 for GM, is hoping to make wheelchair-accessible vehicles by 2010. The car will be made for the U.S. and Canada and will include an automatic ramp that will be able to handle wheelchairs, scooters, and other mobile devices. They say they already have reservations for 3,500 units. Since GM has mentioned that other parties might be interested in its Hummer brand, it will be interesting to see if this will be another carrot or a last ditch effort by the company to keep those gas-hogs on the road.

Good for GM.  It is high time we supported mobility scooter use.  They are here to stay and allow a large segment of our community to remain active.  Bravo GM.  Hopefull the other car makers catch on start supporting mobility scooter use.

Best,
