Seating Bucks

Vehicle package development is an integral part of the vehicle design development. It consists of determining the occupant compartment configuration, the overall exterior/interior dimensions of the vehicle and the components of the vehicle. Developing and verifying the occupant compartment configuration is usually conducted by using a seating buck.
