EVD

• Electrical Variant Definition

A EVD is a collection of default options, optional options, and packages (with particular options set as included) that form an electrically unique, orderable permutation of a vehicle

These are similar to Vehicle Configurations in the other applications in the suite, although vehicle configurations are permutations built up from possible combinations of harness levels.

EVDs are used to generate Full Complexity harness levels.

Along with VVD

• Vehicle Variant Definitions, EVDs give you an indication of the amount of variability in the Pro Product Plan. However, their main role is as an intermediate step in the process of producing Optimized Complexity harness levels.
