Accuride Introduces Bostrom's T-Series(TM) Plus Seat

Today, Accuride Corporation (NYSE:ACW) introduced Bostrom Seating’s new T-SeriesTM Plus Seat. "The T-Series Plus offers a fully adjustable, sleek design allowing drivers to customize their seats for maximum personal comfort,” said Tony Pape, Accuride’s Vice President of Truck OEM and Export Sales. "Before we designed the T-Series Plus we surveyed fleets and professional drivers from across the country and compiled information on the physical characteristics and features that were important to them,” explained Joel Mow, Bostrom’s Vice President and General Manager. "We engineered the T-Series Plus with one goal in mind - to take our proven lineup of T-Series seats to a higher level and create a seat further focused on driver comfort and safety.” Featuring a modular seat concept and a frame that mounts to Bostrom’s proven suspension, the T-Series Plus was ergonomically designed and tested for increased comfort and durability. The seat’s cushion extension, which is standard, offers a five position adjustment that is independent from the seat tilt adjustment and can be operated while occupied. In addition, the new reclining mechanism is ergonomically located for easy user adjustment. The seat also features a taller back for additional neck support, affording the driver added comfort and safety. For added convenience, the cushion and backrest can be serviced independently. And, as an option, a stowable armrest can be specified. Available for both driver and passenger seat in-board applications, the seat’s armrest can be lifted and stored behind the seat for easier access to the sleeper.
