Wheelchair-accessible vehicle with lowered-floor ramp and integrated lighting system for enhanced safety

Accessibility and Safety

When it comes to mobility for people with disabilities, safety and accessibility aren’t just details—they’re essential. With this in mind, we developed a custom lighting system for low-floor vehicles, making every entry and exit safer and more comfortable, day and night.

The Problem: Poor Lighting, Too Many Risks

Accessible vehicles are designed to provide freedom and independence, but often, their lighting falls short of users’ real needs.

Shadows on the ramp – Insufficient lighting can make it difficult and even risky to use the ramp in low-light conditions.

Compromised safety – Poor illumination increases the risk of tripping, hesitation, and potentially dangerous situations.

Our challenge? To solve these issues with a tailored, effective, and seamlessly integrated solution.

Our Solution: Light Where It’s Needed, When It’s Needed

We worked closely with the client to develop a lighting system that truly makes a difference. The result? A combination of a standard product from our catalog and a custom-made solution designed specifically for this vehicle.

💡 Side lighting – We installed two LED strips on both sides of the ramp, mounted on a discreet support that blends seamlessly with the vehicle’s design.

💡 Overhead illumination – Under the tailgate, which acts as a ceiling when opened, we integrated two LED spotlights with focusing lenses (Spot OFOlux ref.1020), ensuring the light follows every movement and perfectly illuminates the descent.

From Concept to Reality: How We Built a Custom Solution

🔍 Step 1: Understanding the needs – The first step was discussing the project with the company’s Research & Development team to fully grasp the specific requirements and real challenges users face.

🛠️ Step 2: Co-designing with the client – Instead of opting for a one-size-fits-all solution, we carefully studied the best way to integrate the system into the vehicle without compromising aesthetics or functionality.

🚀 Step 3: Installation and testing – Once installed, the system was thoroughly tested to ensure maximum efficiency. The result? A lighting solution that genuinely improves the user experience.

More Light, More Safety, More Freedom

This project is a clear example of how small innovations can make a big difference in everyday life. For us, every custom solution is a step forward toward safer, more inclusive mobility that truly meets people’s needs.
