Second stage manufacturer

Second stage manufacturer

A second stage manufacturer, known in the industry as "body-builder," builds such products as bus and truck bodies, ambulances, motor homes, and other specialized vehicles.

Neither their product, nor the first stage portion, called an "incomplete motor vehicle", are fully-compliant with all of the requirements for a complete motor vehicle without the other.

Cutaway van chassis are one of the more popular incomplete motor vehicles for second stage manufacturers to use as a platform for their products. A large portion of small school buses, minibuses, and recreational vehicles are based upon cutaway van chassis.
