VVD

  • Vehicle Variant Definition

A VVD is a collection of default options, optional options, and packages (with particular options set as included) that form an orderable permutation of a vehicle. Unlike EVDs (electrical variant definitions), VVDs are not necessarily electrically-unique.

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.

Along with EVD

  • Electrical Variant Definitions, VVDs 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.
