In this particular case, the vehicle can continue to run with the manual ramp, thus ensuring maximum vehicle availability and reducing waiting times. The ramp by spanish manufacturer allows access for up to 350 kg. The module is easy to install and also facilitates maintenance work. The flush design of the RD1 allows unobstructed access to the vehicle floor, optimizing interior space.

In addition, RD1 incorporates the highest safety systems, such as weight sensors and obstacle detection, which interrupt the operation of the electric module in case of risk.

Among its most outstanding features is the ability to integrate the PIS-L system, which improves accessibility for the visually impaired through side lighting. The system ensures maximum safety, as it warns when it is safe to enter the vehicle. When installed with Masats doors, the system informs of the combined door and ramp status. This system is designed to improve access for the visually impaired, giving passengers confidence.
