Living space in the cab

The three categories of use
Following a market research conducted at European and extra- European , Iveco has analyzed the missions entrusted to the driver and his truck. From this research , revealed the following three categories of employment :

a single driver who performs paths to medium range , but the regulation of working time sometimes forces him to spend the night on board his vehicle. Another variant : more drivers take turns at the wheel , but it can happen that one of them cotters on board. Typical case of fleets ;
a single driver who makes long-haul routes and overnight several times in a row in the cabin. As a general rule , the vehicle is assigned to the same driver , except during his vacation periods or recovery ;
a crew of two drivers engaged in the long haul.

The three categories of use that can coexist within the same company , correspond to completely different equipment . For example, in the first two cases, the passenger seat is used only occasionally. If the set-up options are only available in the plant , the carrier will choose a compromise that would satisfy his needs and does not discriminate against the resale of the vehicle , but did not really optimize neither the functionality nor the price . In the Stralis Active Space cabs , thanks to decentralized personalization , you can optimize the preparation according to the use and make it evolve over the life of the vehicle.

the volume
The cab floor is flat, to facilitate domestic travel . The driver's seat is lowered by 15 cm. Three steps are therefore sufficient for access to the cabin , as the floor of the driver's seat is located 1.70 m from the ground. The base of the driver's seat rests on the flat floor . The configuration is the same on the right and , in the absence of the seat , the platform continues until the passenger side door . This symmetry allows to realize the right-hand drive versions without changing the base.

The raised roof allows for an interior height of 2 m on the rear panel , 1.96 m in front of the bunk and 1.90 m below the frame of the sunroof . This means that the vast majority of drivers will be able to move up into the cab. The electric sunroof is standard and is equipped with an anti -insect netting .

The floor is carpeted , as well as the containers under the seats. The faces of the panels are light gray , while the dashboard is made of two-tone gray . The seats and the center door panels are lined with elegant velvet , also used for the curtains of the berth . Particular attention has been paid to finish, choice of materials and the " perceived quality " .

II - Single configuration for the long haul
The driver, who often spend the night on board his truck , can benefit from increased comfort , thanks to a thicker lower berth in three parts (width 880 mm at the center , 700 mm and 620 mm to the right behind the driver's seat - length 1.97 m) . The central element is fixed lift the back panel and integrates a folding table . The backrest removable always allows you to get a chair to the right and create a very cozy dining corner . The user can also choose the top bunk lift (width 670 mm ), and keep under continuous review the sitting area / dining room below. The access to the top bunk is through a telescopic ladder truck fixed under the bed itself. It 'also provided a protective shutter.

III - Configuration for two drivers
Optional features include a figure passenger seat with air suspension , to be mounted in the traditional position . This seat can be fixed or swivel to 90 ° inwards . In the presence of the upper bunk , the lower one can be both of the simple type, which allows to dispose of the larger table , with both the mattress more often , to the advantage of comfort .

The optional factory
Because of their complexity of mounting , some options may only be installed in the factory. It 's the case of the phone in the dash panel , and facilities management of the temperature inside the cabin . There are in fact an air conditioner automatic or manual control and a separate cabin air heater or water heater combined with the engine.

The storage compartments
The Stralis Active Space cab includes a wide array spacious bays , five closed compartments above the windscreen, with a container under the bench seat on the passenger side and two shelves fitted with wire gauze maintenance over the doors . The container located behind the driver houses the isothermal container ( or the port - bottles) , and the housings for the safe addition to a residual space . The parts of the floor placed under the seats for driver and passenger have been transformed into two containers with lid. A container with a lid is provided on the upper part of the central module , equipped with two door - glasses . Not to forget the luggage rack (on request ), consisting of a shelf equipped with side and side containers that mounts above the bunk, the entire width of the cabin.
