The ramp module is positioned such that, in a folded configuration, the ramp module is substantially situated within the vehicle, and, in an extended configuration, the ramp module extends through the side entrance towards the surface to form a wheelchair ramp, the wheelchair ramp adapted for traverse in use by the wheelchair between the surface and the floor of the vehicle.
