    NEW ALBANY, Ohio, April 17 /Xinhua-PRNewswire/ --
Commercial Vehicle Group, Inc. (Nasdaq: CVGI), today
announced the launch of its new KAB brand 600 Series
Construction Seats.  The new 600 Series Construction Seats
will provide safety and comfort for construction vehicle
operators around the world using technologically innovative
design principles to achieve high-quality results in safety,
servicing, customer satisfaction and production.

    The New 600 Series seating has a modular design to
allow for the air or mechanical suspensions to be
interchanged, and the 3 different K- Series seat uppers and
5 different Positioning System Modules.  These features
provide comprehensive solutions for construction vehicle
Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) and plant and
equipment operators in the field.

    The Air 65 and Mechanical 61 suspensions share common
base plates to facilitate assembly and servicing.  Both
have low natural frequencies and are fine tuned to
significantly reduce harmful vibrations that negatively
affect drivers of construction equipment.  These wide
suspensions improve stability and have large operator
weight ranges, in the case of the AIR 65 version from 50 to
200kg (110 to 440lbs).

    The K-Series uppers include operator comfort features
such as: adjustable lumbar support, seat heaters, seat
cushion tilt and length adjustment, adjustable armrests and
an adjustable headrest.  The 600 Series also features a
unique Positioning Systems Module (PSM).  The PSM provides
optional combinations of: slide rails, fore and aft
isolator, lateral isolator and a customised pod control
carrier.  The PSM package fitted between the seat upper and
the suspension is always the same height to ensure a
constant Seat Index Point (SIP).  This allows customers to
select options to suit to their vehicles or markets,
depending on the features required, without changing the
seat ride height.

    Significantly, the new 600 Series seating also achieves
ISO 7096 seat performance standards for construction
vehicles without the need to change damping or springs for
different equipment categories.  The 600 Series is the
ideal seating solution for vehicles such as:

    -- Articulated and rigid dump trucks (EM1)
    -- Large and compact wheel loaders (EM3/ EM8)
    -- Graders (EM4)
    -- Backhoe loaders (EM5)
    -- Bulldozers (EM6)
    -- Other large construction machines such as
excavators

    The 600 Series was designed in house by KAB Seating's
Advanced Engineering Team.  The goal was to integrate sleek
seat styling and adjustability to maximize operator comfort
and aesthetic appeal in the cabin, along with a robust
suspension for extended product life in the most severe
environments.  

    The new 600 Series will be produced in CVG's
custom-built facility in Shanghai, China.  Its modular form
will allow local assembly in CVG plants around the world.  

    Gordon Boyd, President, CVG Global Construction stated,
 "Our new Series 600 seating represents a major step
forward in the design and production of construction
vehicle seating.  These seats demonstrate our ongoing
commitment to build and market innovative and flexible
products that combine state-of-the-art safety and comfort
while meeting demanding customer and manufacturer
requirements."  

    "The New 600 Series represents a significant
investment in our OEM and aftermarket business strategies. 
Strategically, the Series 600 product line is an investment
that will help ensure the future competitiveness of our
products and our industry-leading market position,"
Boyd added.      

    The first public viewing of the 600 Series seating will
be held at the BAUMA 2007 Show (Hall A6 Stand 138) which is
scheduled April 23 through 29 in Munich, Germany.
