New Features on the 2012 VMI Honda Odyssey

VMI are reliable mobility van manufacturer for years.  With over 20 years in building vans and spending millions of dollars in research and design to ensure their vehicles remain a leader in safety features, VMI has become one of the most popular manufacturers in the mobility industry.
To meet the needs of customers for extra interior space and a clean, obstruction-free handicap vans interior, VMI launched the development of the Northstar in-floor wheelchair ramp system for the Honda Odyssey minivan.
