DIN ISO 21308-2:2012-04

Truck chassis manufacturers deal with configurations of chassis in infinite numbers of possible combinations, and bodywork manufacturers produce highly customized superstructures on these chassis. Bodywork manufacturers build their superstructures on chassis of several different truck brands. The production efficiency of a specific truck chassis and its body combinations can be greatly improved by achieving the correct technical and commercial information about the specific chassis communicated with the bodywork manufacturer in advance. The information has to be reliable and give the bodywork manufacturer confidence to prefabricate the body or the superstructure before the chassis is delivered. With uniform condistions, unambigguos dimensions and supplementary efficiency will improve the quality and reduce the lead times.
