cab forward is a design of a vehicle that moves the front wheels up and out farther on a front-drive car, which results in more cabin area up front, thereby increasing interior Room and comfort.
In the context of travel, "cab forward" is a design term used to describe a vehicle or train that has its cab, or driver's compartment, located at the front of the vehicle, rather than in the traditional location at the rear. This design is intended to improve visibility and safety for the driver, as well as to increase the amount of space available for passengers or cargo.
Examples of cab forward designs in the travel, transport and hotel context include:
- Certain trains and trams, where the driver's cabin is located at the front of the train and the driver can see the track ahead more clearly.
- A few buses and trucks, where the cab is located at the front of the vehicle, allowing for more space for passengers or cargo in the rear of the bus.
- Some recreational vehicles (RVs) and motorhomes, where the cab is located at the front of the vehicle, allowing for more space in the living area in the back.
The cab-forward design is a way to optimize the space in the vehicle and to provide a better view for the driver. This design is often used in vehicles that are intended for long-distance travel or for transporting large groups of people or cargo.
