Take the story of Vehicle Production Group along on your next journey with this passport cover. VPG was a Miami-based automaker with an ambitious focus on purpose-built wheelchair-accessible taxis. The company unveiled its Standard Taxi design in 2005, then developed the MV-1, which began production in Mishawaka in 2011. Following a shutdown and asset acquisition, production restarted under Mobility Ventures in March 2014 before ending in 2016. A travel keepsake for automotive collectors and anyone interested in the history of mobility.
Vehicle Production Group LLC, commonly known as VPG, was an American automobile manufacturer based in Miami, Florida. It developed purpose-built wheelchair-accessible taxis. Its first design, the Standard Taxi, was unveiled at transportation and taxi-industry conferences in 2005. A 2008 agreement with AM General called for the vehicle to be built in Indiana, but the Standard Taxi never entered series production. VPG instead developed the MV-1, or Mobility Vehicle 1, in collaboration with AM General. Built at AM General’s plant in Mishawaka, Indiana, the MV-1 began production in 2011. VPG halted new-vehicle production in February 2013 and closed in May after its finances fell below the minimum condition tied to a $50 million US Department of Energy clean-energy loan awarded in March 2011. In September 2013, AM General agreed to acquire VPG’s assets after purchasing the loan for $3 million, then formed Mobility Ventures as a wholly owned subsidiary to resume MV-1 production and distribution. Production restarted on March 11, 2014. After AM General accepted an offer from SF Motors for the Mishawaka plant in 2016, MV-1 production ended.
