Freedom For Your Active Lifestyle
Mobility SVM, formerly known as GoShichi, was founded in 2009 on the premise that although a person might be confined to a wheelchair, many individuals still want the freedom and independence to pursue their interests in outdoor activities through the advantages of a full size truck.
Today Mobility SVM manufactures a full size General Motors truck that is wheelchair accessible from either the driver or passenger’s side. This allows the driver or passenger to remain in their wheelchair while using the vehicle. This concept has given many wheelchair bound drivers the opportunity to have a vehicle that better suits their needs versus the traditional mini-van.
New Ownership
Through acquisition, Mobility SVM, LLC was established in March 2012. The new organization has over 200 years of automotive or comparable industry experience. This team is committed to enhancing product quality, consistent on-time delivery, and exceptional customer satisfaction.
Greater Freedom, Independence and Style
The Mobility SVM team is building products in Fort Wayne, Indiana that provide greater freedom, independence and style allowing our valued customers to venture down untraveled roads and seek new adventure in their lives.
Please note that getting an evaluation from a Certified Driver Rehabilitation Specialist is highly recommended.
