The modularity extended all the way through the design in to the drivers cab whereby modular componentry was designed to be adaptable between different front ends.
The goal was to ensure that minimal changes were required for varying front ends meaning:
Minimum new tooling is required.
Production costs are more efficient.
Design commonality is identifyable.
Passengers First.
Fordyno developed a detailed ergonomic report outlining the ergonomic characteristics of both platforms. Both were carefully developed to ensure the ergonomic optimisation was maintained between the modular layouts.
