Every owner of the truck would prefer a vehicle that is made especially for his/here needs, designed with considering all the wishes and requests and, at the same time, of course, the vehicle should be reasonably-priced. However, producing of tens thousands unique trucks will lead to unaffordable costs of manufacturing and design, which is unacceptable. Therefore, manufacturers are eager to find a good engineering trade-off among product originality and production costs.

The design based on a platform [1] is a capable method to solve this hitch. According to its principles, designers should standardize and unify the main system parts and main functions of different types of vehicles. The result of this process is a common platform, which can be used as a base for several products. To extend the platform up to, for example, a certain bus, a certain type of truck, designers have to stick a set of appropriate components on this base. These components should be large enough to embed a consistent piece of functionality and be self- sufficient and logically independent from others.
