September was an exciting month for all of us at Mobility Ventures! Following the announcement that AM General was taking ownership of VPG’s assets, we have been busy assembling our team and working hard to prepare for the start of production of the MV-1. We are all proud and honored to have this opportunity to make this vehicle available to a much-needed market.
Our most recent addition to the company was a familiar face. John Walsh joined Mobility Ventures as the vice president of sales and marketing. John, with extensive experience in the specialty vehicle industry, was also the former CEO of VPG, therefore, his direct knowledge of and commitment to the MV-1 and dealer network is unmatched. He joins a strong executive team that is eager to lead Mobility Ventures and take the MV-1 to a whole new level. Supporting staff also has personal experience with the MV-1, as well as the disability, mobility and automotive industries. Together, it’s a winning team.
As we move forward, it’s with a renewed energy and solid foundation. We’re ready to communicate our message – that the MV-1 is here and stronger than ever before. Today, the MV-1 not only remains a symbol for universal accessibility and innovative design, but it also represents the ability to overcome obstacles and defy stereotypes – traits that are embodied by so many individuals within the disability community.
We appreciate your patience and value your support as we move through the last few stages of preparation to begin production of the MV-1. Continue to check www.mv-1.us for continuous updates, including dealer and service locators, as well as company news and info. We also look forward to connecting with you on our social networks. You can find us on Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Pinterest, Google+ and Instagram.

Please let us know when MV-1 will be available in the consumer market! Do you have a mail-list?
Also, are there any plans to allow for the transport of more than 1 wheelchair? We are a 2 chair household that will be purchasing a vehicle in 18 months. MV-1 (before the bankruptcy derailed production) was on the top of our short list of candidates.
Hi Pat!
Thank you for your comment! We are all working hard to get the MV-1 in production and available at dealers. Visit our website at www.mv-1.us as we continue to post company updates and update dealer locations.
The MV-1 currently has two wheelchair positions, but it depends on the size of the wheelchairs. You would have to actually try one out to see if it works for your family.
Thanks again for your interest in the MV-1!
The MV-1 Team
Is there one a wheelchair person can drive still in their chair? That would be awesome!! Many of us want the independence to drive our own cars without having to ask someone to drive us places. This is an amazing (American made) car we disabled people are dreaming of!
If one is not available for a wheelchair person to drive, is there a way one can made? or one can be revamped?
Thanks ...
