Wheelchair accessible vehicles are vehicles that have been modified or altered to accommodate a wheelchair in them. The most common modifications done to the vehicle are lowering of the floor, addition of a ramp to enable the wheelchair to be rolled into the van, or sometimes the addition of a small power lift to the wheelchair car or van, to bring the wheelchair from ground level to the same level as the floor of the vehicle.
