The FlexiLite™ lightweight minibus has been designed with the needs of schools, colleges, healthcare, social and community transport providers front of mind. By using innovative, lightweight materials it provides an ideal solution for organisations looking for maximum carrying capacity without having to incur the expense of putting staff through D1 category licence training*. FlexiLite™ gives you a safety tested, road-ready minibus, with room for up to seventeen people and up to four wheelchairs, that can be driven by anyone with a standard car licence. We offer school minibus sales, hire and leasing options.
The FlexiLite™ minibus is available with a wide choice of accessibility features. Our folding rear access ramps and electrically-operated passenger lifts are easy to use and can be stowed away neatly within the vehicle, depending on the model you choose. Wheelchair restraints and three-point seat belts ensure the safety of wheelchair users and other passengers. FlexiLite™ also comes with a retractable side step and hand pole or grab handles to ease passenger entry and exit. Additional safety features include a fire extinguisher, first aid kit and break glass hammers.
While some converters may be tempted to cut corners, FlexiLite™ features floors, seats, seat belts and wheelchair restraints which have been tested to meet European safety standards. All FlexiLite™ lightweight minibuses also come with the added reassurance of an Individual Vehicle Approval (IVA) certificate, independently verified by a Driver and Vehicle Safety Standards Agency (DVSA) appointed test centre.
FlexiLite™ is available based on the popular Citroen Relay and Peugeot Boxer. It offers an impressive standard specification for maximum driver and passenger comfort. There’s a host of seating options too, depending on your specific requirements. If you’re not sure exactly what configuration you’re looking for, we’ll work with you to design the layout and features of your lightweight minibus to ensure it best matches your needs, with all legal requirements taken care of.
Options available on the standard car license include:
We’ll supply a detailed layout plan of your vehicle for approval before finalising your order.
We work closely with leading school minibus lease companies to offer funding and maintenance options for our lightweight minibuses. Our range of minibus leasing options ensure you get the right package that meet your needs and ensures you’re compliant with safety legislation. Purchase and hire options are also available.
*Drivers must have held a full driving licence for two years. The vehicle should not be used for hire or reward and the operator should hold a section 19 permit.
