Western Star Redesigns Truck Cab Front Wall

Western Star Trucks has redesigned its cab front wall to feature updated system diagnostic capabilities and streamlines air and electrical routing with improved accessibility and serviceability.

Inside the truck cab, a "dead pedal" has been added to provide an ergonomic foot rest for additional driver comfort and to protect the air line connections. The enhanced design will allow key electrical connections to be serviced from the ground without having to remove additional front wall equipment.
"Our customers will appreciate this new front wall because it not only allows for easier maintenance, but offers a cleaner design with reduced number of components as well," said Matt Stevenson, manager of Product Strategy for Western Star Trucks. "Body builders will appreciate the improved access to the trucks electrical system along with new user-friendly electrical and airing schematics that aid in their body installations."
The electrical system has been updated to a modular design concept that will improve serviceability by making it easier to isolate individual electrical circuits and to diagnose issues in the field.
