Ferro Equip becomes ARAI-certified for car-modifications for the Physically-challenged

Ferdinand J Rodricks, who runs the Mumbai-based company has come up with several innovations such as using a bike handlebar attached below the steering wheel of a car to change the workings of the vehicle in such a way that the accelerator, brake and clutch can all be controlled with it. His modifications are the only ones to be approved by the ARAI.

All his modifications come with a lifetime warranty, and Rodricks guides customers on how to handle the cars after they have been retro-fitted with the modifications. The modifications ensure that a car’s normal settings work alongside the new adaptation, so that it can be driven by an able person as well. Rodricks has reconfigured over a thousand cars. Modifications typically cost between Rs 17,000 and Rs 35,000.
