... BTW a solid bulkhead behind the cab also makes it easier to keep
the cab warm in winter.

It also stops all the stuff in the back hitting you in the back of
the head or going through the windscreen if you do an emergency stop.

Yes; our bulkhead has a big dent in it where a pallet hit it during an
emergency stop. However, most vans these days have a framework behind the
driving seat to protect the driver when a bulkhead is not fitted.
