Vehicle Production Group (VPG) Tough Phone Case
Product Details & Size Guide
Keep the story of Vehicle Production Group close with a case inspired by a distinctive chapter in American automotive history. VPG began with the Standard Taxi concept, then worked with AM General to develop the MV-1, a purpose-built accessible vehicle produced in Mishawaka. Production stopped in 2013, resumed under Mobility Ventures in 2014, and ended in 2016. For collectors and mobility-history followers, this design recalls a brief, determined effort to bring a specialized taxi to the road.
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.
