Finance packages for wheelchair-friendly transport are being offered by specialist vehicle manufacturer Brotherwood in partnership with contract hire specialist LVC Mobility.

The partnership is offering packages for both business and private users. They feature a low initial outlay and fixed, tax-allowable monthly rentals for a high quality, easy-to-use wheelchair car for between 24 and 60 months.

A full maintenance package can be included in the monthly rental and, at the end of the agreement, the vehicle is simply handed back.

Among the vehicles available is the new Brotherwood Envy, the UK's only fully electric Wheelchair Accessible Vehicle to carry European Type Approval.

As scrutiny of vehicle emissions is at a high, many authorities are now opting for alternative fuels, their lower running costs further supplemented by financial assistance from OLEV grants.

Brotherwood has been converting vehicles for wheelchair access since 1985 and LVC Mobility is a trading style of LVC Central, which has over 20 years' funding experience through the UK's major vehicle finance lenders.
