Introduction:
Automobile body (Bus Body) building is an important activity. The chassis are supplied by Automobile
manufacturers, and body is built by automobile body builders as per the requirements of the customer and
specifications of the different State Transport Undertakings.

Market Potential:
Bus is used as the most common public transport vehicle in our country. Different State Transport
Undertakings are plying their buses for commuting public from one place to another and from one State
to another. Apart from these Undertakings, Private Bus Operators, travel agencies etc. are also
operating buses on permit basis. With rapid changes in the society, now a day it has become necessary
to provide good and efficient service to the public. Also with the rapid industrialization, public is moving
very frequently from one place to another using public transport. Since more and more development in
the coming years, it is expected that demand of public transport, private transport and luxury transport
in the form of buses will increase in the coming years.

Technical Aspects:
Name of the Product: Truck Body

Quality & Standards: The quality specification of the Truck Body depends upon the type of
commodity to be transported.

Process of Manufacture:

Metal sheets are cleaned and derusted for grease/oil if any. Then sheets are cut to size for forming
different parts and these parts are formed on press brake. Now different parts and their subassemblies are
fabricated as per their design and size. These parts and subassemblies are fabricated– together to make
them a complete bus body. The complete body is painted as per the requirements of the customer.
