Cab forward

In passenger vehicle design, the term refers to a collection of styling tropes commonly used by Chrysler since the early 1990s in which the passenger cabin is "pushed forward" so that the front wheelwell directly abuts the leading edge of the front doors, and the windscreen extends forward near the front axle, while the rear wheels are "shifted" towards the back corners of the vehicle.

In the case of vehicles other than passenger cars the term refers to a design in which the steering wheel is placed forward of the front axle, which, typically, is located directly beneath the driver's seat. This arrangement is perhaps better known as forward control.
