This XPENG video is a great example of the power of communicating key ergonomic dimensions and decisions during product development.
It’s not enough to design for good ergonomics — we must also clearly articulate these decisions to internal and external stakeholders.
In addition to our virtual assessments, package hardpoints, user testing, and regulatory standards compliance, this kind of communication is key to ensuring that every decision serves the user. That’s how we influence engineering, design, and commercial teams to make product choices that truly benefit the user.
After all, our job isn’t done unless we’ve maximised every millimetre for the user’s advantage. From the looks of it, the XPENG ergonomics team fights for every millimetre — and I admire and respect that.
My comment is purely about the excellent communication technique — I’m not expressing any opinion about the product itself, and I have no knowledge of it.
