    there are some interesting solution unfortunately could not find all the pictures
    so i will write function of all

    -seats can be rotated both grammer , there is small refgrirator on right side of drivers seat for drink and similar things

    -toilet is behind driver and when you use shower middle part of cab is also used for shower but when you dont need it you just more wall .....

    -kitchen is behind passenger seat with anything you need microwave is above ,also pans are on wall .......

    -passenger seat can be used for resting ( we have here 45min of pause required by law after 4.5hours of driving

    passenger seat can be converted to chair .....
    but when you fold it down

    -you can get another bed from rear wall ( it is foldable)
    if you dont have need for it you can get additional cabinet instead of it

    -top bunk is wider than this down and it is 40" it is lowered by el .motors
    you can approach it from middle part of cab where is usually shower

    -and there is a foldable table in armature which can be used for paperwork or when you eat .........

    Mercedes Cab is not so small inside... You cant imagine how fat bottomed drivers in company I work for ride trucks....

    BTW, long cab versions are available too.

    But, I'd prefere mix of conventional and COE design for better safety.

    We all know that COE with very strong cabine cant be so safe as conventional trucks.

    Laws are not written forever, so no reason to think about current lenth limits, they may change them. So I cant really imagine the future truck

    Be perfect TEAM truck for the MAJOR CARRIERS. No more complaints of being UNABLE to eat , shower and give the co driver ( trainer ) a good excuse for being asleep in the passenger seat aka ( his bed ).
