Whether physical limitations exist from birth or are caused by disease or accident, there are numerous options to use technical adaptations to compensate for them.  By planning and implementing adaptations with hand controls (push brake with a thumb touch accelerator, accelerator ring or a wireless accelerator and with an electronic steering system such as joysteer®) in production vehicle of all brands and types, we play our part in ensuring that mobility is improved or maintained.
