Fiat

This adaptation gives easy wheelchair user access via a combination of an internal lowered floor section and automatic lowering rear air suspension with gas strut assisted folding ramp that has a very shallow angle of incline.  With its roots coming from the Ulysse MPV model it drives like a car and having 5/6 seats plus wheelchair space, the whole family is catered for without compromise.

Equally operators such as ambulance, CTA, local authorities, nursing homes and groups will find its versatility unsurpassed. The Combinato, with the Gruau conversion, gives a high quality and compact form of transport with ease of operation and access. The already superb ride is enhanced for passenger comfort riding on air suspension.

This conversion has 'Product Agreement' approval by Fiat and carries 'Conformity Certification'. Warranty is unaffected with full service back-up. A demonstration vehicle is available through HILL GRUAU S V, sole UK distributor of Gruau Special Products, or Fiat Auto UK Selected Dealers. Group Gruau is a family company, founded in 1889, with an enviable reputation throughout Europe.
