MV Transportation, Inc. Enters Agreement with Manufacturer

The public transportation management firm MV Transportation Inc. has entered into an agreement with The Vehicle Production Group LLC (VPG) of Miami to become the exclusive U.S. distributor of VPG’s “MV-1” purpose-built paratransit vehicle through its MV Sales and Leasing Inc. subsidiary.

Under the terms of this agreement, MVSL will sell and lease the MV-1 to organizations receiving public transportation funding from governmental entities in the United States.

VPG created and designed the MV-1, or “Mobility Vehicle,” to meet or exceed the Americans with Disabilities Act requirements, in keeping with the principles of Universal Design: the idea that products should be equally accessible for all people regardless of mobility, age, or situation.

The MV-1, assembled by AM General in its Mishawaka, IN, plant, can accommodate up to two wheelchairs.

VPG offers it with an OEM-engineered and factory-installed dedicated Compressed Natural Gas powertrain option.
