VMI has been a reliable mobility van manufacturer for years. With over 20 years experience building vans and spending millions of dollars in research and design to ensure their vehicles remain a leader in safety features, VMI has become one of the most popular manufacturers in the mobility industry.

To meet the needs of customers for extra interior space and a clean, obstruction-free wheelchair-accessible vans interior, VMI launched the development of the Northstar in-floor wheelchair ramp system for the Honda Odyssey minivan. After more or less tens of years of processing, the Northstar stays the most technically developed wheelchair ramp system on the marketplace. Rather of taking up area inside the accessible van, the Northstar wheelchair ramp just rolls out from below the floor. Below are some key features for Honda Odyssey:

• Maximum interior space for wheelchair maneuverability,
• Obstruction-free doorway allows easy entry/exit for able-bodied passengers,
• Reduced accessible van conversion wear (no need to deploy mobility ramp for able-bodied passengers),
• Clean, uncluttered vehicle interior,
• Less dirt and debris from ramp into accessible vehicle interior,
• Wider usable ramp surface,
• Easy access to all interior buttons, handles, and switches,
• Full use of front passenger seat,
• No squeaking or rattling from wheelchair ramp,
• Wheelchair Ramp stowed safely under floor in the event of a collision,
• Deployable on curbs up to 10” in height,
• Fully crash-tested and compliant with all government safety standards
• 3-year/36,000-mile warranty.

With the bold new styling on the 2011 Honda Odyssey and industry-leading Northstar system, it was once again the number one selling Honda minivan in the mobility industry. How can we make the VMI Honda Odyssey even better?

When one considers the advantages of the Northstar in-floor ramp system, there is no question why the Northstar is far and away VMI’s best-selling product.
