Reducing CO2 emissions is a priority for commercial vehicle manufacturers such as Nissan. A new higher driving position is proposed which enables a more compact van with reduced length and mass for the same load capacity. As well as lower build costs, a shorter vehicle will also reduce congestion, is a smaller obstruction during loading/unloading, and requires less parking space. However, the new cabin for this driving position is outside the scope of current vehicle design standards. We need to fully understand the ergonomics, e.g. seat design and comfort, the position of controls, displays and seat belts and visibility from the vehicle. This research will involve fleet van drivers, and detailed data will be collected from user trials with physical prototypes and simulations. A demonstrator vehicle will be developed with support from key UK suppliers to test the viability of this innovative concept. Finally, new Nissan standards will be created defining key design criteria for future vehicle production.

减少二氧化碳排放是日产等商用车制造商的优先事项。提出了一种新的更高的驾驶位置，其使得能够实现更紧凑的货车，其对于相同的负载能力具有减小的长度和质量。除了降低建造成本外，较短的车辆还将减少拥堵，在装卸过程中是一个较小的障碍，并且需要较少的停车空间。然而，这一驾驶位置的新驾驶室超出了当前车辆设计标准的范围。我们需要充分了解人体工程学，例如座椅设计和舒适度，控制装置、显示器和安全带的位置以及车辆的可见度。这项研究将涉及车队货车司机，详细的数据将收集从用户试验与物理原型和模拟。在英国主要供应商的支持下，将开发一种演示车辆，以测试这一创新概念的可行性。最后，新的日产标准将被创建，为未来的汽车生产定义关键的设计标准。
