Autocar
Autocar is introducing new ergonomics to its Xpeditor truck. In addition to increased belly, foot and knee room, the add-ons include a “soft-touch” dash, a high-back seat now tapered for better rear visibility, an armrest, and two console coffee cup holders. Driver comfort will be improved with the electronically controlled, automotive-style HVAC system that pumps out 28 percent more airflow. Autocar designers say that the lowered forward edge of the dash will mean more visibility. An overhead console now holds gauges and the radio, and the ‘black box’ for body controls is a thing of the past because the joystick and other switches are now integrated into the centre and rear console. Engineers have also added access panels for easier.electrical and pneumatic service access. These and other enhancements are available on WX and WXR single- drive models now, and by September on WX dual-drive Xpeditors.
