Seating Concept Design
Volvo Trucks North America aimed for an advance concept design seating system that would drive progress and help define the shape of trucking to come. The project started within the Truck/Bus division, and also looked at solutions that could be extended to Volvo Penta (Marine) and Volvo Construction Equipement (VCE).
A large project that required detailed research and discovery into ergonomics, mechanics and materials exploration. Volvo Trucks has many priorities beginning with safety, comfort, and improved visibility for customers. A rigorous design thinking process was utilized to push forward-looking concepts into product launches.
