modellserie

Modellserie is a German term that translates to "model series" or "product line" in English. It is commonly used in the automotive industry and in other manufacturing sectors to refer to a group of related products that share a common design, platform, or technology but differ in specific features, specifications, or performance. For example, a car manufacturer might have a "Modellserie" that includes several different models, such as a sedan, a hatchback, and an SUV, all built on the same underlying chassis and sharing many components.

The concept of a Modellserie allows manufacturers to efficiently develop and produce a range of vehicles or products. By using a common platform, they can reduce development costs and streamline production processes. Customers benefit from a variety of options within a familiar framework, often with predictable quality and service. The specific differences within a Modellserie can include engine size, transmission type, interior amenities, exterior styling elements, and trim levels, catering to different customer needs and price points. This approach is a fundamental strategy in product management and marketing across many industries.
