摘要:
A mobility access hybrid vehicle that includes a floor assembly that defines a mobility access system mounting area and a battery well, the battery well being located at a position forward of the mobility access system mounting area. A mobility access system is mounted within the mobility access system mounting area defined by the floor assembly. A hybrid battery is mounted within the battery well defined by the floor assembly. A first cover plate mounted over the battery well and a second cover plate mounted over the mobility access system together define a substantially flat interior floor area for first and second rows of occupant seating areas of the mobility access hybrid vehicle.

A fender skirt for a vehicle includes an inner member having at least one mounting lug extending therefrom. An outer member mounted to the inner member defines an arcuate upper edge having a curvature that substantially matches a curvature of at least a first upper portion of a wheel opening in the vehicle. The outer member also defines an arched lower edge.

A proximity alert system for a vehicle having a mobility access device that is moveable between a stowed position and a deployed position may include a control system, a sensor system, and an annunciator system. The control system operates the sensor system to detect a presence of an object within a defined sensing region exterior to the vehicle when the mobility access device is in the stowed position. The control system operates the annunciator system when the sensor system detects the presence of the object within the defined sensing region.

An extended range sliding door hinge may include a track bracket assembly and an intermediate bracket. The track bracket assembly is sized to be operatively received by a vehicle door track assembly. A first end of the intermediate bracket is movably mounted to the track bracket assembly so that the intermediate bracket may be moved with respect to the track bracket assembly between a retracted position and an extended position. A second end of the intermediate bracket is sized to operatively engage a vehicle sliding door. The extended range sliding door hinge allows the vehicle sliding door to be moved between a standard position when the intermediate bracket is in the retracted position and an extended position when the intermediate bracket is in the extended position.

A ramp system includes a base frame adapted to be mounted to a vehicle. First and second elongate track members are mounted to the base frame in generally parallel, spaced-apart relation so that they extend along a longitudinal direction. A trolley assembly is moveably mounted to the first and second elongate track members so that the trolley assembly is moveable along the longitudinal direction between retracted and extended positions. A ramp member is pivotally mounted to the trolley assembly. A support roller mounted to the base frame supports a portion of the ramp member. A handle assembly mounted to the ramp member allows a user to move the ramp member between the retracted and extended positions.

Methods for modifying an OEM vehicle into a wheelchair-accessible vehicle. The methods include the steps of removing the OEM rear axle, fabricating a modified rear axle, attaching the modified rear axle, repositioning the secondary catalytic converter, and modifying the floor of an interior compartment of the OEM vehicle. Method steps include installing a body lift kit and lowering the airbox.

A proximity alert system includes a control system. A sensor system operatively associated with the control system detects a presence of an object within a defined sensing region adjacent the vehicle. An annunciator system operatively associated with the control system provides an indication that the object has been detected within the defined sensing region. The control system actuates the sensor system when the vehicle is stationary and operates the annunciator system when the sensor system detects the presence of the object within the defined sensing region.

An A-arm suspension system may include a frame that defines respective left and right rear body mounting locations at about a rear end of the frame and respective left and right front body mounting locations at about a front end of the frame. Left and right side control arms are pivotally mounted to left and right sides of said frame so that at least portions of the left and right side control arms are generally aligned with the respective left and right front body mounting locations on the frame. Left and right side A-arms are pivotally mounted to the left and right sides of the frame assembly in generally spaced-apart relation to the respective left and right side control arms so that the control arms and the A-arms define respective left and right side ball joint axes. Left and right side wheel spindle assemblies are mounted to the respective left and right side control and A-arms.
