Fantastic dashboard design and rightly said very driver oriented. Even the exterior panels are nicely shaped and the headlamp cluster on the truck in the first pic looks very good.

Saw a Bharat Benz truck around town. In terms of CV design they are quite sorted.

Do I see a crew cab!
I am not sure what purpose do these medium tonnage vehicles with crew cab meet in the countries they are sold.

Anyways, beautiful truck I must say. The interiors are soothing.
