Bowers-Carnahan, F. Renae, Kinghorn, Rhonda, Bittner, Alvah, Reynolds, Syd, Feyer, Anne-Marie, Williamson, Ann M. and Freund, Deborah M. (1993): Issues in Heavy Vehicles. In: Proceedings of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society 37th Annual Meeting 1993. p. 579.

“The heavy vehicle industry includes medium-duty trucks, heavy-duty trucks, and buses. Vehicle size, driver location relative to the road, and duration of time in the vehicle distinguish heavy vehicles from the passenger car and light truck industry. During the past decade, the industry has been changing. Technological advances, as well as political, economic, and cultural forces, have combined to create a new environment. The driver has become more important in this new environment. A driver shortage and safety issues have heightened the interest in human factors and ergonomics in the heavy vehicle industry.”
