hen drivers spend up to 42 hours a
week behind the wheel, a well-designed
cab can make a big difference in their
comfort, effi ciency and safety.
"Ergonomically designed vehicles help drivers do their work more effi ciently,"
says Darrell Bowman, engineering lead for ergonomics at Mack Trucks. "But
even more importantly, it helps fl eets increase the driver applicant pool by
providing a vehicle that is more accommodating to drivers of more sizes and
abilities." The science of ergonomics combines the biomechanics of man/
machine interface with deep understanding of how the machine is used in a
practical application that is user friendly and safe.
