The firm has added a number of new vehicles and created several new vehicle groups. These include the new F vehicle group, which features two brand-new BMW 3 series 320d Exclusive Edition Tourer Automatics in recognition of the fact that not all disabled drivers want to drive small or medium vehicles.

AVH has also enhanced its WAV1 automatic group with five new Constables converted new shape Renault Kangoo Automatics. The extra width of the rear-mounted ramp accommodates larger wheelchairs, providing important flexibility for drivers and their passengers. 

In addition, the firm has introduced the new WAV2 MPV Group due to an increasing need for wheelchair-accessible vehicles capable of accommodating larger numbers of passengers. The new diesel Fiat Scudo manual has been added to this group.

Finally, AVH has added to the WAV4 "Transfer From" Group with a new Mercedes Sprinter, providing greater choice for wheelchair users who want to drive themselves.

Lorraine Farnon, the new managing director of AVH, said: 'AVH aims to continue to provide the highest quality service for the replacement vehicle market and these new additions ensure we can help daily rental, fleet and insurance companies meet the needs of disabled people, their carers, family and friends.'
