Cab-forward Design Saved Chrysler and Reshaped Urban Cars

Automotive production has developed over the decades followed by a huge contrast: it’s filled with procedures and standards of all types, and yet it’s susceptible to have all that changed at any time. The station wagon body style, for instance, had its clientele stolen by minivans and those lost it to crossovers just as quickly. More recently, electric propulsion is improving quickly enough to limit internal combustion engines to performance cars soon. In the 1990s, paradigms were shifted in yet another way. Cab forward design has usually been applied to trucks. For them, it consists of placing the cabin above the front axle to increase the available cargo area and, at the same time, locating it between the axles for a better weight distribution. This solution never went to cars because it’d take a toll on design, considering our beauty standards, and because having the engine up front helps create the wedge-shaped front fascia that reduces aerodynamic drag. However, none of that means the concept couldn’t be used. <a href="https://danilloalmeida.medium.com/cab-forward-design-saved-chrysler-and-reshaped-urban-cars-e1a5620642dc">Read More</a>
