Automotive Electronics Specification Example for Delivery Vans: Lightweight Version
Automotive Electronics Specification Example for Delivery Vans: Lightweight Version
This is a worked specification for automotive electronics in a lightweight version programme. It is the document we would send a buyer who asks what exactly they are getting: the material, the dimensions that are actually controlled, the finish, and the checks that happen before anything is packed.
The lightweight version version exists because the duty cycle on delivery vans is not the same as on a showroom vehicle. Where the two are specified identically, something fails later — usually inconsistent hardness between lots.
Example specification
| Item | Automotive Electronics |
|---|---|
| Application | Delivery Vans |
| Version | Lightweight Version |
| Base material | Carbon Steel |
| Controlled dimensions | 5 key dimensions, recorded per lot |
| Tolerance band | ±0.2 mm |
| Finish | powder coated |
| MOQ | 2,000 pieces per specification |
| Sampling | 14 working days, 5 days per revision |
| Compliance | TUV |
How the example is built up
- Start from the duty cycle, not from the catalogue photograph.
- Fix the base material in writing — Carbon Steel, in this example.
- List the dimensions that are actually controlled and the tolerance on each.
- Name the finish and what it has to survive.
- State the inspection level and who pays when a lot fails.
Processes involved
- die casting
- laser cutting
- powder coating
- surface grinding
- CNC machining
- gravity casting
Where this example applies
Programmes that run lightweight version most often specify this build for delivery vans. Related applications include delivery vans, agricultural trailers, off-road bikes, light trucks, racing teams.
Checks before packing
- Dimensional report against the approved drawing.
- AQL 1.5 sampling on the finished lot.
- Finish inspection under agreed lighting.
- Carton drop test on the first lot of a new packing specification.
Questions buyers ask
How is packing specified?
Individual packing, inner box quantity and carton marking are confirmed at quotation stage so the cartons arrive ready for your warehouse.
What is the minimum order quantity?
The standard MOQ is 2000 pieces per specification. Mixed sizes inside one shipment are accepted once the total reaches that figure.
Can you match an existing sample?
Send a sample and we will reverse-engineer the specification, then produce a counter sample for approval before any bulk starts.
What testing is included?
Standard lots ship with dimensional and hardness reports. TUV documentation is issued with the shipment when your market requires it.
Share a sample or a drawing and we will quote against a written specification, not against a photograph.
