It has been said that technology has moved the human race forward. For VMI, that has never been more true. From the very beginning, we have been driven by one simple philosophy: Innovation and dedication will ultimately lead to a better quality product and a better quality of life for our customers. Our unrelenting approach to technology and progress may not be the simplest way, but for us it is the only way. This benchmark has put us in the forefront of our industry. We have never looked back. We will never stand still.
All VMI minivan conversions are manufactured in our state-of-the-art 10.5 acre complex in Phoenix, Arizona. It is a facility that features the latest in assembly line technology, but we didn't stop there.
VMI has created key strategic partnerships with Tuscany and Ricon to bring you products that offer the best quality in their class. Tuscany builds high quality van conversions, and has won Ford's prestigious "Quality Excellence Award" for seven straight years. Ricon is a global leader in mobility enhancement, building lifts to exacting standards in over 20 countries for over 34 years. These alliances have helped VMI maintain our quality edge. Why do we go to these lengths to ensure excellence and consistency? Simple. The greater the quality of our products, the greater the quality of your life.
HONDA ODYSSEY
The Honda Odyssey with the VMI Northstar conversion is the industry's best side entry, lowered floor premium minivan. The Honda Odyssey has been handed down many awards, including the IntelliChoice "Best Overall Van of the Year." By taking the best in class minivan and modifying it with the finest conversion available, we are giving you the best of both worlds. The Honda Odyssey packs a 244-hp engine that propels it to the head of the class and the latest innovative Honda engineering at its core. The VMI Northstar conversion has long been viewed as the leader in the lowered floor minivan industry for both quality and reliability, and is time tested with over 12 years in service.
Honda Odyssey with the VMI Northstar Conversion
At VMI, we embrace a passion for mobility and the challenge of living up to the performance and quality of the Honda Odyssey. Simply put, the Honda Odyssey with a VMI Northstar conversion is the most fully integrated wheelchair accessible minivan on the market today. Our conversion flows smoothly between the style and performance of the Odyssey with the feature-rich VMI Northstar ramp system. Using state of the art automotive design tools, VMI has integrated accessibility without compromising Honda's attention to detail and the Odyssey's "best in class" performance. VMI's innovative rear suspension modification is just one example of this. The rear suspension maintains the factory design intent and gives the Honda Odyssey with a VMI Northstar conversion a ride quality and handling like no other lowered floor minivan in the industry. Just test drive one and you'll be convinced!
NORTHSTAR
Our Northstar lowered floor minivan conversion represents the culmination of our forward-thinking philosophy: A power in-floor ramp offers open, unrestricted entry and exit, as well as greater interior maneuverability. A one-touch remote allows effortless ramp deployment at your fingertips, while our PowerKneel gives you a lower ramp angle, making access easier. When properly implemented, innovative thinking is communicated from design to final product, and nothing gets lost in translation.

SUMMIT
The goal was concise. The solution, expansive. The Summit conversion delivers space in an innovative way, through a uniquely powered fold-out ramp that delivers more interior space than competitive ramp systems. For added safety, two-inch side rails keep wheelchairs securely on track. PowerKneel technology provides ease of access by reducing ramp angle. Tumble forward third-row seating offers more storage space. Form. Function. Harmony. In maximizing the design of our minivan, we've put considerable space between us and our competitors.
