Abstract
A gear lever (7) is arranged between the driving seat and the passenger seat in a truck. The gear lever (7) incorporates a disengageable locking mechanism (34) by means of which it is possible to lower the gear lever (7) from a substantially vertical position of use to a position in which it does not limit the driver's mobility in the cab. When the gear lever (7) has been lowered, the driver can move from the driving side to the passenger side of the truck.
