Classed as a medium-duty truck, the 'P7-C' is truly a trailblazing vehicle in that it does not have any mechanical connection between the chassis and the control mechanisms. In other words, it's well and truly an 'x-by-wire' vehicle meaning that it offers a combination of complete [steer-by-wire](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/driver-assistance-system), brake-by-wire and drive-by-wire control. This allows for an electric commercial truck that is exceptionally versatile, easily maneuverable and offering flexibility in the driver's orientation. This functionality also means that the 'P7-C' truck has an exceptionally flat chassis, which translates to increased space for passengers and cargo.
