In and out, all day long? In that case, quality is essential. The wheelchair ramp has been endurance tested with 400 kg load 30,000 times and the latching mechanism a staggering 90,000 times. This is one of the reasons the B-Active Ë-Berlingo L2 is perfectly suited to professional use. Then there is the ease of use, such as the safety belts that can be attached to the wheelchair outside the Berlingo and can then only retract, not extend. Thanks to this safety feature, the wheelchair passenger cannot roll back down the wheelchair ramp. With the space and quality it offers, the B-Active Ë-Berlingo L2 can be used as a wheelchair taxi for many years with great pleasure.

Conversion kit

B-Style is the inventor of the handicap van and supplies conversion kits to professional conversion companies worldwide. Because B-Style has, itself, been a conversion company for 44 years, a great wealth of knowledge has been gained about all aspects of conversion, and that knowledge has been put to good use in the development of the kit. The B-Active Citroën Ë-Berlingo L2 can be converted to a wheelchair accessible car in just 18 hours, without the need for any welding. Everything needed is included, such as the bumper kit (which doesn't interfere with the parking sensors), fasteners, vinyl floor, seat belt anchor points, wheelchair ramp etc. Because the conversion company can install this kit relatively quickly, the final investment for this handicap van is quite a bit lower.

Installation

The B-Active for Citroën Ë-Berlingo L2 is a low floor conversion to provide extra space for a wheelchair passenger. To make this possible, a section is cut out of the floor. B-Style supplies a template for this task, to ensure the cut-out is made with exactly the right dimensions. The B-Active kit then fits perfectly in the Ë-Berlingo and results in a lower entry level. Everything needed to perform the conversion is included. Because a clear manual is available and no welding is required, the Citroën Ë-Berlingo L2 can be converted to a wheelchair accessible van in 18 hours.

Paperwork handled by B-Style

This includes the European Type Approval for the complete model range, as well as a second-phase Certificate of Conformity (CoC) for each specific model.
