Bose Ride system installation sites open for individual purchase

Bose Corp. has announced the opening of its first five Bose Ride system installation sites across the country, allowing the system to be purchased by individual owner-operators and small fleets. First introduced in January, the Bose Ride system replaces a conventional air-ride truck seat with a Bose suspension base and an integrated custom-designed seat top to provide over-the-road truckers added protection from road-induced shocks and vibration.

The authorized Bose Ride installation centers are located in Dallas, Detroit, Phoenix, Southborough, Mass., and Crossville, Tenn. “Over-the-road drivers spend up to 11 hours a day in their trucks, withstanding a ride much worse than that of a passenger car,” says Mike Rosen, chief engineer and general manager of Bose Ride. “In our trials, drivers told us that this punishing ride dramatically impacts them – both in the truck and at home. We’re excited to offer the Bose Ride system to professional drivers who want to improve their quality of life.”
