Mercedes-Benz V-Class available with wheelchair cassette lift and transfer seat ex factory for the first time

Press release available only in original language. 

Stuttgart/Düsseldorf. More mobility for people with physical constraints: #MercedesBenz has offered ex factory driving aids since 2010 – and the range is getting wider all the time. Two new solutions are available for the #vclass people carrier in time for REHACARE 2018, the international trade fair for rehabilitation and care: the cassette lift "F6" and the transfer seat "Slider".

Both are aimed specifically at wheelchair users. The cassette lift facilitates comfortable access to the vehicle, whilst the transfer seat makes it easy to move from the wheelchair to the driver's seat. It will soon be possible to order the solutions directly when purchasing the vehicle. They are installed at the #MercedesBenz Car Modification Center in Sindelfingen. The customer thus receives everything from a single source with the full #MercedesBenz guarantee.

Easy entry thanks to cassette lift "F6"

The "F6" cassette lift is fitted beneath the #vclass and opens to the rear sliding door (front-passenger side). It can be extended at the touch of a button via remote control and lowered to ground level. Another press of a button and the lift goes up, giving wheelchair users easy access to the vehicle interior.
The cassette lift's carrying and hoisting capacity is up to 300 kilograms.
