QASA is very proud to be able to provide a service of driver training for wheelchair users who would prefer to “drive from wheelchair”, through the Driving Ambitions driver training programme.
The car that will be used for the training is a Renault Kangoo, donated by Geoff Dear of Cape Mobility. It is fitted with a Space drive system, allowing wheelchair users with extreme limitations the opportunity to drive from their wheelchair, with zero-effort steering and electronic support features. Access via a remote-operated tailgate and ramp alleviates the necessity to transfer. This self-drive transport solution with ground-breaking technology provides total independence with safety.

QASA CEO Ari Seirlis says: “Disability should not be disabling and QASA is always looking for solutions to offer quadriplegics and paraplegics the chance to secure their rightful place of integration into society and opportunities to work, participate and contribute. This addition to our project will now make more dreams come true and provide hope for those who thought they would never drive again.”
