Invacare’s Kuschall takes centre stage with accessible Citroën at the Paris Motor Show 2024
Invacare’s industry-leading Kuschall became the perfect companion for Citroën’s new AMI [for] ALL compact electric vehicle, unveiled at the Paris Motor Show 2024 last week.
The Paris Motor Show, officially known as “Mondial de l’Automobile,” is one of the world’s largest and most prestigious automotive exhibitions.
Every two years, thousands of manufacturers, car enthusiasts, politicians, and change-makers from around the world attend the show at the Paris Expo Porte de Versailles.
Citroën’s AMI [for] ALL is ultra-compact and designed to navigate tight city spaces. It represents a shift towards more accessible and sustainable personal transportation options and is particularly suited for anyone with reduced mobility and accessibility requirements.
Developed and converted in collaboration with PIMAS, a French leader specialising in conversions for persons with reduced mobility, the unique “AMI [for] ALLL” incorporates functional mechanical adaptations that allow wheelchair users to access on-board, store a wheelchair in or outside the vehicle, and drive with ease.
Kuschall, designed for active wheelchair users, was the preferred companion for the Citroen AMI [for] ALL.
Lisa Cook, Marketing Manager of Invacare UK, said, “We were delighted to join Citroën on stage last week. The AMI [for] ALL vehicle aligns seamlessly with Invacare’s mission of Making Life’s Experiences Possible.
“It is fantastic to witness car manufacturers like Citroën embracing accessible and inclusive design, catering to individuals of all abilities.
“By combining Kuschall’s innovative wheelchair designs with Citroën’s accessible vehicle technology, together we aim to make mobility simpler, more empowering, and more integrated into daily life for those facing mobility challenges.”

Pascal Masapollo, Managing Director of Pimas said: “We are proud to be opening the doors of inclusive mobility to many new users. We are pleased to collaborate at the Paris Motor Show with partners Invacare and Citroën and see the AMI [for] ALL on the road in many different regions in France. We plan for the AMI [for] ALL to become available across more European countries in 2025.”
