Special needs vehicles to be exhibited by Mazda

The “AZ Wagon i” is based on the small but highly successful micro-mini AZ Wagon. Wheelchair bound passengers may enter and exit the vehicle via the rear liftgate.

Mazda’s “MPV Second Row Lift-up Seat” is based on the very successful MPV and has been modified so that it could help people who do not have the use of their legs. Modifications on this vehicle allow its second row seat to rise and rotate to allow smooth egress and ingress for passengers on wheelchairs.

The “Biante” features a step that automatically extends when the van’s sliding door is opened and retracts when the door is closed. The “autostep” was developed to assist passengers who may have physical issues when getting in and out of vehicles.

The 35th International Home Care & Rehabilitation Exhibition will be held at the Tokyo International Exhibition Center and will run from September 24th to 26th. The event is the largest special needs exhibit in the country and features products from all over the world. Mazda has been an HCR exhibitor since 1995.
