The first row features two comfortable seats, and for the second row you have a factory option of either two separate seats or a bench seat for three. The first two rows of seats remain original Mercedes-Benz. The third and fourth row have optional folding seats, one on each side, for a total of four. These seats can only be used when there is no wheelchair passenger.

Conversion kit

B-Style, inventor of the wheelchair van, sells conversion components for wheelchair use as a complete kit to professional conversion companies. Because B-Style has, itself, been a conversion company for 44 years, they know exactly what is needed to efficiently build a handicap accessible van, and that knowledge has been put to good use in the development of the conversion kit for the V-Class L3. Among other things, this results in a very short installation time, without any welding. The quality delivered by B-Style, and the resulting quick installation time, makes the cost price of the finished product very attractive. After all, fewer labour hours are required for conversion of the V-Class.

Personalization V-Class L3 wheelchair car

Personalization V-Class L3 disability car

There are several possibilities for personalizing your Mercedes-Benz V-Class L3 wheelchair van. If the conditions are such that you need more ground clearance, a specially developed suspension set is available from VB. For the interior, you can opt for high quality, wear-resistant vinyl on the floor of the lowered floor area, and the walls can be fitted with an aluminium strip or made-to-measure ABS plastic caps.

The wheelchair area can be illuminated with a LED strip, and the light switches on when the door is opened. To make the ramp as light as possible in operation, it can be fitted with a gas spring. As mentioned previously, the third and fourth rows can be fitted with two folding seats each, as an option; these can be used when there is no wheelchair passenger. The ramp with folding tip is standard. The end folds back for better visibility to the rear through the rear-view mirror. This also extends the ramp, which makes entry even easier for the wheelchair passenger.

Vehicle modifications

To make a Mercedes-Benz V-Class L3 suitable for use as a wheelchair vehicle a section is cut out of the floor. B-Style supplies a template for this, to ensure the cut-out is exactly the right size. The lowered floor section then fits perfectly in the V-Class L3 and provides a lower entry and more space for the wheelchair passenger. Everything needed to perform the conversion is included, such as a new fuel tank, the wheelchair ramp, safety belts and all the necessary fasteners.

Mercedes-Benz VanPartner

B-Style is a Mercedes-Benz VanPartner. This means that Mercedes-Benz recognizes the quality of B-Style and recognizes us as an official conversion partner.

Vehicle requirements

The B-Active conversion kit is only supplied for the rear wheel drive V-Classes and for the L2 and L3 lengths. The short version of the V-Class, the L1, is not suitable for wheelchair conversion. The V-Class must also have a rear hatch and no rear doors.

Paperwork handled by B-Style

All the official documentation required for conversion of a Mercedes-Benz V-Class L3 to a WAV (wheelchair accessible vehicle) is provided 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. The advantage of the latter is that the conversion company does not have to have each individual vehicle approved prior to registration. And that means huge time-savings.
