1. ergonomics

   Ergonomics is the scientific discipline concerned with understanding interactions among human and other elements of a system, and the application of theories, principles, data and methods to design in order to optimize human health, well-being and overall system performance. It typically involves designing workplaces, products or systems to fit those who use them, instead of forcing users to adapt to them.

2. Alicia Whitney:

   It’s comfortable in terms of ergonomics and it handles well. I also like the way it’s equipped. The Bluetooth, back-up camera, SiriusXM Radio*…it feels pretty loaded with all the fixings. And the great gas mileage and low ground clearance make it easy to live and work with. it would be great for catering and restaurant runs—something that could really be a part of our ‘growth spurt,’.
