Frantisek Trunda, 67, who lost his legs in 2006, moves himself into his Elbee vehicle while seated on a wheelchair in Brno August 18, 2014. The Elbee is a vehicle designed specifically for wheelchair-bound people, and allows them to drive the vehicle without needing to get off their wheelchair or receive assistance from another person. The vehicle stretches 248 centimetres long and 133 centimetres wide, allowing it to be parked vertically on a pedestrian zone for easier boarding and exit from buildings. Factory production of the first batch of Elbee vehicles started this year after completing initial road tests and homologation from local authorities received in 2010. (Photo by David W.
