Often working in close conjunction with systems or vehicle manufacturers, Carwood has the range of skills to install post production requirements that complement both the function and the aesthetics of the vehicle. Past projects have included N.A.T.O. Landrovers, Airport Fire Tenders, Specialised Police Vehicles, Ambulances and Special Needs transport. In the public transport field vehicle life or functionality can be extended by internal refurbishment of flooring, seating, trim and passenger facilities, saving capital expenditure on new vehicles while maintaining high levels of customer comfort and satisfaction. Compliance with DDA regulations can also be ensured.

The recent successful installation of more than 1000 Oyster card reading machines in articulated buses for Transport for London, (TFL) was a major undertaking requiring skills in coach fitting, electronics, electrical installation, logistics and project management.

Other projects undertaken include fitting and installation of ‘Backscan’ reversing devices on Mercedes Benz 18 metre articulated buses and split charge auxiliary power systems for Mercedes Sprinter vans.
