I've no problem with the Eurocabs nor the Mercs, indeed we run some on our fleet, they are capable vehicles, but i think rear loading is dangerous for the passenger.
Firstly, what happens with rear loading if you get a wheelchair job from a congested rank, although this isnt the key point.
Secondly, the rear of the vehicle is the most vunerable.
Thirdy, there is no way out if there is a rear end shunt.
Forthly, you have to load wheelchairs very often in a rear loading WAV from the road, most accidents happen on the road rather than on the pavement.
Fifthly, Radar the disabled persons group who are concerned with wheelchairs have apparently stated that many of they members feel it is undignified to be loaded into a vehicle from the gutter.
Sixthly, I understand that the doblo has not got the european specification it claims (ECWVTA), i believe this is going to the ASA because of the inaccurate advertising surrounding the vehicle.
