linea di greggio

Italian term or phrase: linea di greggio
Could this be production line? Unfortunately I don't have any context - it's from a caption!

Explanation:
If you have a look at Pininfarina, the car designer, you'll find this Ita PDF:
http://www.pininfarina.it/repository/Press/PininNews/Newslet...
where you read "Linea di greggio della Mitsubishi Colt CZC presso lo stabilimento di Grugliasco (Torino)"

In the English PDF, this is translated as
Body-in-white line of the Mitsubishi Colt CZC at the Grugliasco plant (Turin, Italy)

and the picture confirms that "greggio" hasn't the meaning of crude in this context.

Now, if the context you are translating is automotive, and you are talking about bodyworks, car factories or something stricktly connected to the car, I think this is the right word.
