Gateline and D1 are closely related terms used in the auto industry to refer to the point in vehicle assembly when a vehicle is scheduled to be built.
Gateline
A Gateline schedule is the order in which cars are going to be built. Cars are sequenced and tracked by their Vehicle Identification Numbers.
D1
D1 is the order status code for the gateline schedule. Car dealers and manufacturers use the order status code system to specify where a particular vehicle is in the assembly process.
Specially Ordered Vehicles
When a person orders a particular color or set of options on a new car, she might receive the VIN and updated status codes from the auto maker. At the Gateline/D1 stage, a car is in priority sequence and usually an estimated shipping date has been assigned.
