The relevant operating conditions of the subsequent
complete vehicle are crucial to the selection of a suit-
able basic vehicle or chassis when planning work on
the vehicle body. Observe the following points:
•
Customized design of vehicle or chassis
•
Body variant
•
Standard and special equipment
The model plate, model designation and vehicle identi-
fication number (VIN) must also be used for guidance
when planning.

choice of materials into account along with the
resulting corrosion protection measures.
