Integrated controls in the steering wheel provide safe and comfortable operation of cruise control, horn, phone and the functions in the Instrument Display and Side Display.

Climate system

Three alternative climate systems allow you to control the temperature. Fan ventilation with conventional coolant heater. Air conditioning with manual control (MCC). Air conditioning with automatic temperature control (ECC/ECC2). Also available with sensors for sun intrusion, fog conditions and air quality. Complement the system with a cab and engine parking heater and I-ParkCool, our cab parking cooler.

I-Park Cool 

The engine doesn't need to be running for you to enjoy an air-conditioned cab. I-ParkCool creates controls cab temperature in a stationary vehicle. It interacts with the cab parking heater to generate a comfortable climate: useful, for example, during nights when the temperature drops sharply and suddenly. The system checks the battery health so as not to compromise starting ability. And it calculates how much power is needed to heat or cool the cabin. If the batteries aren’t fully charged, the system works out how much can be used. Furthermore, it's quiet. The system generated roughly 20 dB less noise than competing systems in the market, reducing noise pollution and aiding rest. The system is fully integrated with the vehicle’s normal air ventilation system and hot or cold air is distributed through the ordinary vents as needed, distributed equally. Cab aerodynamics and standing height inside the cab are not affected by the system. With the exception of cab heater (PH-CAB).
