MIRA unveiled an innovative new truck cab, "Optimus", at the Commercial Vehicle Show at Birmingham's NEC.

By combining thorough benchmarking of the current best-in-class vehicles with input from drivers, fleet-managers and vehicle manufacturers MIRA's engineers established challenging targets for:

• Space
• Reduced weight
• Ease of manufacture & assembly
• Style
• Driver Comfort
• Practicality
• Aerodynamic performance
• Safety

Optimus sets new standards for European truck cab design. MIRA's experts in ergonomic design have developed a unique wrap around cockpit with clear instruments and all the essential controls at the driver's fingertips.

With a car-like-drive feel the practicality of the cab has been especially designed from the driver's point of view, paying special attention to space and comfort through integration of a climate control system, abundant storage and a walk-through cab.

For a vehicle manufacturer the modular design of the cab enables cost effective manufacture and ease of assembly.

The official unveiling by Christopher McGowan, Chief Executive of the SMMT, took place at 8.30am on the first day of the show (25th April 2006).
