modern interior design ideas south africa
the cab of the new fh serieshas a completely new design. it's larger, strongerand more comfortable. i would like to describethe new volvo fh cab as a completely new standardin the truck industry. it's built around the driver,while they're driving, and also when restingand living in the truck. it's outstanding. one of the key factorswhen developing the new cab has been to improvethe driver's ergonomic workplace. the result is a more comfortable seat,which can be taken back an extra 4 cm.
a neck-tilt function has alsobeen added to the steering wheel, which further enables the driverto find a relaxing position. by making the a-pillars more uprightand lowering the engine tunnel, volvo trucks has also been ableto create a lot more room. the new fh cab is almost 1 cubic metrelarger than the current fh. that means that even i, who's almost2 m tall, can stand straight in this cab. that is good news for all tall drivers. the bigger cab also means that thesurvival area for the driver is bigger. other safety improvementsinclude an escape hatch,
which can be usedif the cab doors are blocked. the hatch also works as a sunroof,allowing more light in the cab. the instrument panelhas a completely new design, which improves both ergonomicsand safety for the driver, since buttons and controlsare now always close to their fingertips. the idea behind the designof the new dashboard is, of course, that everything should be within easyaccess for the driver while driving, so they don't need to taketheir eyes off the road. naturally, the colours and the materialsin the cab have been carefully chosen
to harmonise withthe overall sense of volvo quality. quality is one of volvo's core values,and we never compromise with that one. it's reflected in this new volvo fh cab, both when it comes to designand functionality. i think that drivers will love itin the future.
