For me, mobility means independence, that you can make your own decisions. Equality, because the traffic rules apply equally to everyone. And you are a human being again and no longer a transport freight.
I never thought that I would be able to drive a tractor again, that I would be able to work as a farmer again, but PARAVAN converted my tractor the way I need it.
I am very happy to be mobile again. The choice was good, the electric car is very pleasant to drive and I also get on very well with the Space Drive system. The changeover was very easy.
The driving licence was a dream for me. Now I can spontaneously say: "That's where I'm going" and then I do that and can live my life in a more self-determined way.
Space Drive is more than just a high-tech steering and driving technology. For our customers, it is a new way of life and the freedom to be mobile again.
"This was exactly the wheelchair we were looking for..."
My aim? To find extraordinary solutions to make driving possible for our customers.
Freedom for me is that I am as equal on the street as everyone else. My disability doesn't matter, it's a great feeling.
The aim is to test the system in racing operation under extreme conditions in order to determine important parameters for the future development of Space Drive.
"We are aware of our responsibility to continue to be there for our customers. Especially in this situation, it is important that people with a weak immune system can remain mobile and do not depend even more on outside help.“
"The virus is dangerous for me because of my weak lungs. Fortunately I am at home and can isolate myself well."
"For two weeks I have been working exclusively in the home office. Because of my muscle disease I belong to the risk group..."
"My daily routine is a bit boring without tasks. For me, this is a time of total adjustment..."
"...the border is closed between Germany and Switzerland. For me this means a big restriction of my freedom of movement."
"We have decided to return from Spain early, as the health care in Germany is better. I've been driving for 25 hours..."
"To be honest, I took the whole thing with Covid-19 lightly in the beginning. I only knew the word pandemic from textbooks..."
"I sense danger to life and fear of death. People on external respiration are particularly at risk. Many do not leave the house at all."
"As for all people in this world, I too am deeply shocked by the current situation. As a risk group, I have been in complete isolation since 16 March."
"The Corona virus is currently making me feel a little like I'm in a movie."
"Making the impossible possible is part of my life. As a speaker and world explorer, I have to rely on flexible and modern mobility to freely pursue my career and life. Without my car with Space Drive and the modern and reliable PR50 this would not be possible."
"It was a long journey to getting the new vehicle - with a happy ending!"
I instantly knew this was the right decision and on top of that it was great fun. If we´re going somewhere, then I´ll be driving from now on!
„I got along really well with Space Drive 2 . It is much more direct. I feel like I'm really driving around the bend. It is much more fluid."
Not to be disabled is truly no one’s personal merit, but a gift which can be taken from us at any time!
Here you are part of the team from day one!
As I have a prospective job offer, I have received a grant from the employment office for the purchase of a handicapped accessible vehicle.
I am incredibly proud of my team. It is impressive what we have achieved here in Aichelau!
People are always at the heart of what we do here at Paravan. And on top of that it feels good to enable people with severe disabilities to be mobile again.
During my apprenticeship here at Paravan I continuously grow with my various and exciting tasks.
Once I’m in position of the driver´s seat with my wheelchair, I press a button and the backrest secures me electronically.
Getting into the vehicle and into the docking station – that´s all it takes for me and my wheelchair to be secure in the vehicle.
The PARAVAN cassette lift is flexible enough to fit onto my caravan. Wonderful!
Thanks to the Paravan swivel seat, getting in and out of the car isn´t a problem anymore.
We are more than satisfied with our converted people carrier by PARAVAN. The flexible interior space concept is absolutely invaluable for our institution!
I can drive with almost any car. But thanks to the driver assistance systems I can drive for much longer without feeling exhausted.
Without a car? Absolutely no way! I am totally relaxed. If I want to go somewhere, then I`ll drive there. It is great not having to rely on others all the time.
In hospital they asked me: Why don`t you obtain a driver´s license? Now I have enough space, and can just call a friend and go shopping together.
When I´m ready, I can get into my car and drive to work and training courses on my own. I feel secure and am totally happy with the new car. Without your great support, this would not have happened so quickly. Thank you so much!
I never thought that it would work out so quickly with my driver´s license and the new car. Soon I can decide on my own when to leave the house in the morning. Thanks to my own car, I am now more flexible and don´t have to rely on anyone else.
Incredible. The employment agency agreed to bear the expenses for the new Volkswagen van and its adaptation for my disability.
Here unrivalled solutions and vehicles are made. So that people with disabilities can regain their independence.
Today I passed my driving test! Thank you so much, we will see each other again when I purchase my car!
I think PARAVAN´s philosophy is great. A real one-stop shop and you have your own point of contact. This is great. On top of that, you are all very friendly and accommodating and have given me new quality of life. Thank you very much!
The support I received at PARAVAN was simply outstanding! This vehicle conversion has improved my quality of life 100 percent. I am still thrilled.
