On the Dash:
- Tonale for All features pedal-based steering and a custom central console for independent driving.
- The vehicle builds on Stellantis’ Autonomy and AMI for All programs, extending mobility solutions across markets.
- Adaptive solutions comply with safety standards and can be tailored to individual medical and regulatory requirements.
Stellantis marked the International Day of Persons with Disabilities by introducing the Alfa Romeo Tonale for All, a vehicle engineered in Italy to empower drivers with upper limb disabilities. The model reflects the company’s ongoing commitment to inclusive mobility, offering technical solutions that combine safety, performance, and ergonomic design.
The Tonale for All integrates a Pedal Steering System, an electromechanical dual-motor setup that enables steering through pedal movements. The system is fully redundant, with multiple motors, batteries, and control units, and a TFT display provides continuous operational feedback. A custom-built, raised central console allows easy access to primary vehicle controls, including transmission, horn, windows, lights, electric brake, voice commands, and USB ports. The layout prioritizes reach, comfort, and operability while meeting ECE 21 crash safety standards. The Tonale for All has received official approval from Italy’s transportation authorities as a one-off model.
The project builds on Stellantis’ previous initiatives, including Citroën’s AMI for All, launched in 2020 through the Star*up program. AMI for All provides compact, electric vehicles with accessible controls and safe wheelchair storage, promoting independence and social integration. Tonale for All extends these innovations to upper limb adaptations, with solutions that can be customized across the Stellantis portfolio and tailored to individual medical requirements.
Stellantis’ Autonomy Program, established in 1995, has advanced inclusive mobility for 30 years. The program operates 14 Mobility Centers in Italy, offering driving assessments, motor skill evaluations, and personalized advice on technical adaptations, helping over 1,000 people gain independent mobility annually. In the United States, the DriveAbility Program provides vehicles equipped for adaptive modifications in acceleration, braking, shifting, and steering. The initiative collaborates with manufacturers nationwide to develop solutions that keep drivers active, independent, and mobile.
Tonale for All demonstrates how innovation can expand mobility for drivers with motor, sensory, or intellectual limitations.
