"Firma XYZ bietet dem Bieter Subunternehmerleistungen an einem fahrfertigen Ausbaufahrzeug für folgende Fertigungsabschnitte an."
This is from an invitation to tender sent out to automotive manufacturers by a public transport organisation which wants to buy a new fleet of buses. Can anyone tell me what an "Ausbaufahrzeug" is?
Many thanks
Ian

Running chassis
I'm pretty sure this is what is meant; somewhat like the carmakers, bus and lorry manufacturers build some of their vehicles in pieces, and coachbuilders (van Hool is a name which springs to mind for coaches) put bodies on. The chassis normally has the engine already fitted, as far as I recall.
