An oasis on adesert highway

“We’ve compared the cab with a business hotel. It should be clean, tidy and effective, yet homely at the same time,” says Carina Byström, responsible for interior design at Volvo Trucks. One of the objectives has been to create a calm environment. This is why the cab is dominated by smooth, clean surfaces and sweeping forms.The design even helps the driver to manage long periods of time at the wheel without having to make too many stops.“This is why it’s important to have a wide range of adjustment possibilities on the seat and steering wheel and be able to have food and drink close at hand,” says Carina Byström.
