A method of designing a driver's compartment for accommodating different driver's sizes, the compartment having a floor and a top end. The method includes: designing a driver's seat having a seat reference point (SRP) designating the position of a seat rear part and a seat pan height reference point (SPHRP) defining the position of the front portion of the seat. A seat moving mechanism moves the SRP vertically between a smallest position, where the SRP is at a vertical height H1 from the top end, and a largest position where the SRP is at a vertical height H2 from the top end, where H2 is greater than H1. The vertical height H3 of the SPHRP from the floor is maintained and constant. Front portion of the seat remains fixed. The top end is disposed at a vertical distance H4 from the floor, where H4 is the sum H1 and H3.
