Abstract
This paper describes the procedure used to ensure that new trucks of the brand Mercedes-Benz meet the ergonomic requirements of all drivers, using the example of the semitrailer.
Mercedes-Benz trucks are sold in different countries. Because of this, varying legal requirements, different sizes of drivers and different lifestyles and habits have to be considered.
To solve this problem perfectly, new methods and tools have been acquired, resulting in increasing optimization of the process of truck development.
