'Designed with both customers and passengers at the heart of it': Northern Ireland conversion firm launches new wheelchair accessible vehicle with Ford
The innovative vehicle by TBC Conversion, developed with Ford, offers flexible seating, enhanced safety features, and independent travel for passengers with disabilities
Dungannon-based TBC Conversions, one of the leading conversion companies in the UK and Ireland, has launched a new wheelchair accessible vehicle.
The new Ford Transit, designed in collaboration with Ford, enables drivers and passengers living with disabilities to travel safely, independently, in style and comfort.
The wheelchair accessible Ford Transit aims to facilitate versatility with multiple seating arrangements fully tested for wheelchairs up to 200kg.
Supported by innovative design and industry-leading engineering, the vehicle incorporates TBC’s Wheelchair Guidance System, Fire Suppression System, and Smart Flooring, ensuring users travel with enhanced safety, stability and peace of mind.
“We’re excited to launch this new wheelchair accessible Ford Transit, designed with both customers and passengers at the heart of it.” said Donavon McKillen, managing director, TBC.
“By integrating Drive From Wheelchair, Internal Transfer, and Wheelchair Accessible Vehicle seating configurations, we’ve created a vehicle that offers real flexibility and makes everyday operation simpler.
“Developed in conjunction with Ford, it has been through a rigorous testing programme, giving customers complete confidence in its safety, quality and reliability.”
Founded in 2006, TBC has grown from a small, ambitious operation into a trusted name in the vehicle conversion industry and is celebrating 20 years in business this year.
The wheelchair accessible Ford Transit is available starting March 2026 to purchase privately and through the Motability Scheme.
