It has luxurious interior designs,the seating area can be made into a bedroom with a capacity of four to five people. Facilities like an air conditioner, heater, refrigerator, microwave, washroom, shower, shelves (shoes, jackets, nightwear, special design drawers for kitchen utensils, stereo and multimedia system (TV, Radio, DVD player, mp3 player) naturally finds its place in the product to enhance the quality of the travel.

The second innovation by PCP titled “PCP Care” is tailor-made for people suffering from Spinal and Knee injuries. PCP has designed a comfortable seat that can be retro fitted in Maruti Eco. The vehicle smartly uses the hydraulic mechanism which helps the seat to be easily taken out of the van and the passenger, after sitting comfortably, with a mere push of button, can glide the seat back to its original position. In this series, PCP is also working on seats which can revolve and help people suffering from obesity and other health issues to move easily in and out of the car.

These vehicles have been built keeping in mind varied Indian conditions and special requirements of our valued Indian customers. We received a thumping response at the Auto Expo 2012 about the concept and we worked with our associates in Japan and Thailand for developing new interiors and localizing Terra on Mahindra Genio and Isuzu D’Max.
