We went to drivers, fleet supervisors, school administrators and
mechanics and asked them what they wanted in a school bus. But
we didn't stop there. We went out and videotaped hours and hours
of footage of drivers performing their jobs. We studied
repetitive movements. Looked at how they use the controls and in
what sequence.
We didn't stop there either. We
took exact measurements of 1,500 drivers of all sizes and
shapes. As a result, the
CE interior environment is an ergonomic marvel for drivers.
With the CE, it's the little
things that make the difference. Like making sure the windshield
wiper pattern provides a clear, wiped view of side-view mirrors.
Placing pedals, switches and controls where they make the most
sense for the most drivers. And offering a roped-in flat
windshield that is faster and less costly to repair than the
curved and bonded variety.
Nothing revolutionary – just
practical, commonsense features that make the CE a better bus to
own, drive and maintain. It's amazing what happens when you
listen to customers and think about buses from their point of
view.
