A : GENERAL INFORMATION
INCOMPLETE VEHICLES-SUBSEQUENT MANUFACTURERS AND CERTIFICATION
Federal law, 49 CFR Part 567 and 568 provides requirements concerning certification of compliance to FMVSS of vehicles manufactured in two
or more stages. These regulations require among other things that a label
certifying that each completed vehicle conforms with all applicable
FMVSS on the stated date of manufacture be permanently affixed to such
vehicle. Consult your legal counsel for advice concerning compliance
with the regulations and certification.
Nissan Diesel Motor Co., Ltd. furnishes a Document for Incomplete
Vehicle with all incomplete vehicles containing information required to be
furnished to subsequent stage manufacturers by federal regulation. The
Document for Incomplete V ehicle includes the identification of the particu
lar vehicle to which the manual applies, the designatio n by Nissan Diesel
Motor Co., Ltd. of the vehicle type into which the incomplete vehicle may
be manufactured, a listing of the applicable FMVSS and statements
regarding compliance of the vehicle with each standard at the time of
manufacture. In some cases, statements include conditions under which
the vehicle may be manufactured so as to conform when completed. A
subsequent stage manufacturer who deviates from these conditions must
independently provide the basis for certification to the particular standard.
-
Sample Document for Incomplete Vehicle
The Document for Incomplete Vehicle must remain with the vehicle
until a label certifying compliance with FMVSS has been permanently
affixed to the completed vehicle by the final stage manufacturer.

TERMS
(AS DEFINED BY THE U.S. NATIONAL TRAFFIC
AND MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY ACT AND REGU
-
LATIONS)
“Chassis-cab” means an incomplete vehicle, with a completed occupant compartment, that requires only the addition of cargo-carrying, workperforming, or load-bearing components to perform its intended functions.
“Completed vehicle” means a vehicle that requires no further manufacturing operations to perform its intended function, other than the addition
of readily attachable components, such as mirrors or tire and rim assem
blies, or minor finishing operations such as painting.
“Curb mass” means the mass of a motor vehicle with standard equipment; maximum capacity of engine fuel, oil and coolant; and, if so
equipped, air conditioning and additional mass optional engine.
“Final-stage manufacturer” means a person who performs such manufacturing operations on an incomplete vehicle that it becomes a completed vehicle.
-
“Incomplete vehicle manufacturer” means a person who manufactur e rs
an incomplete vehicle by assembling components none of which, taken
separately, constitute an incomplete vehicle.
“Intermediate manufacturer” means a person, other than the incomplete vehicle manufacturer or the final-stage manufacturer, who performs
manufacturing operations on an incomplete vehicle.
“Truck” means a motor vehicle with motive power, except a trailer,
designed primarily for the transportation of property or special purpose
equipment.
“Unloaded vehicle mass” means the mass of a vehicle with maximum
capacity of all fluids necessary for operation of the vehicle, but without
cargo, occupants, or accessories that are ordinarily removed from the
vehicle when they are not in use.
“Gross axle mass rating” or “GAMR” means the value specified by the
vehicle manufacturer as the load-carrying capacity of a single axle sys
tem, as measured at the tire-ground interfaces.
“Gross vehicle mass rating” or “GVMR” means the value specified by
the manufacturer as the loaded mass of a single vehicle.
“Incomplete vehicle” means an assemblage consisting, as a minimum,
of frame and chassis structure, power train, steering system, suspension
system, and braking system, to the extent that those systems are to be
part of the completed vehicle, that requires further manufacturing opera
tions, other than the addition of readily attachable components, such as
mirrors or tire and rim assemblies, or minor finishing operations such as
painting, to become a completed vehicle.
