WELCAB Cars

WELCAB cars from Honda and Toyota are easy for caregivers to use, because they are specifically designed for that purpose. There are many types of WELCAB cars, so people can pick the ones they like or the ones with features they find easy to use.

There are several WELCAB variants that you can import from Japan. However, in this blog, we shall only describe those commonly used by end users here.

Wheelchair-accessible vehicle (slope type)

The gentle slope at the rear of the vehicle allows you to get on and off with a wheelchair or stretcher.

The wheelchair-bound passenger can ride in a wheelchair without transferring to the seat of the vehicle.

Toyota models come with vehicle height descent function. By lowering the vehicle height, the angle of the slope becomes gentle, so it is possible to assist with less burden.

Currently at point of writing, there are few WELCAB models from Toyota and Honda that are wheelchair-accessible.
