How it's used
Used primarily in automotive and engineering contexts, this term refers specifically to the structural framework of a vehicle. While it is a technical term, it is frequently heard among car enthusiasts and public transport fans in Hong Kong when discussing bus models or vehicle modifications. It is distinct from the bodywork, which is the shell that sits on top of this foundation.
