Cab Interior Design - Operation/Drivability
Many functions and indicators have been made easier to view and use.
This convenience helps make driving safer.
Sharper and more efficient operation is possible thanks to design aspects such as the rounding of the instrument panel, the directionality of the shape, and the arrangement of the interior space.
A comfortable space is created that enables the driver to operate the truck exactly as they intend.
Semi-round instrument panel
The instrument panel is semi-rounded to create a more efficient operation environment.
Drive operations used frequently during driving are arranged around the driver.
Switches and equipment in the intrument panel are easier to see and operate, which helps reduce fatique while driving.
Instrument panel contains various switches.Switches are arranged in zones based on usage frequency.
In the new C&E series, the semi-round instrument panel enables switches to be aggregated on and around the instrument cluster and panel.Switches are also arranged in zones based on usage frequency.This enables better, more efficient operation.
And the steering wheel now contains switches.The 4-inch LCD monitor(multi-information display)and auto cruise control can be operated while driving.
Additionaly, the steering wheel was enhanced to a 3-spoke design.
4-inch LCD monitor used for multi-information display
A 4-inch LCD monitor has been implemented for the multi-information display centered between the right and left meters. A variety of information is displayed in four areas:the driver assistance display area, transmission display area, utility display area, and always-on display area.The main display is arranged on a compact T-shaped guideline to reduce how long drivers take their eyes off the road.
New fatigue-reducing driver's seat
The entire driver's seat, including the shape, material, and even color, has been redesigned to improve support, breathability, and sitting comfort.
Fine settings can be easily adjusted to better fit the seat to the driver's body, greatly reducing fatigue during long-distance/duration driving.
We adopted a seat with an integrated seat belt produced by the prestigious German company ISRINGHAUSEN.This seat provides excellent sitting comfort and is equipped with various features, including a seat heater and cooling seat ventilation.The seat also features many adjustments to better fit different body shapes and preferences.
