The truck cab is uniquely designed in the style of a walk-in van, with a sliding door and weather-proof steps for entry and exit and an interior measuring 85 inches in height and 88.5 inches in width.

‘Phillips Innovations’ will have two focuses: sustainable energy technologies, such as solar power and electrification products; and patented camera and other visual perception devices.

The camera feeds real-time video to a display in the cab, providing the driver with a greater field of view of the sides and rear of the tractor-trailer, according to Stoneridge.

With this announcement, ZF claims it becomes the first company in the sector to produce the electric parking brake in Brazil.

The model shown at World of Concrete in Las Vegas features self-heating LED headlights which improve forward visibility by up to 29% and peripheral visibility by up to 50%.
