1.03 Unit construction
In the field of the larger commercial vehicles, unit construction is
now almost universally employed. In this system a given chassis
can be fitted with a variety of body shells for specific purposes and
loads, mainly of standard dimensions. The body can be changed at
will, permitting one body to be loaded while the chassis is on the
road with another body delivering goods elsewhere.
