Machinery ManufacturingEngland, United Kingdom51-200 Employees

STATUS is a member-based organization that provides small manufacturers involved in specialist road transport with access to cost-effective engineering development and testing services, along with technical and legislative guidance. Founded in 1988 through a collaboration between Manchester Metropolitan University's School of Engineering and companies in the specialist vehicle field, STATUS has grown to include a broad cross-section of low-volume vehicle makers and related equipment suppliers. Its membership encompasses a variety of sectors, from cars, buses and commercial vehicles to special purpose vehicles like motor caravans and wheelchair-accessible vehicles, as well as firms producing equipment and components for these vehicles.

Operating from within the MMU School of Engineering, STATUS retains access to facilities, expertise and contacts that would be difficult to obtain at scale, while remaining a small organization focused on specialist support. Its services include vehicle testing facilities to support regulatory compliance, comprehensive support for vehicle type approval (ECWVTA, ECSSTA and NSSTA), a newsletter, advocacy with government on vehicle legislation, and general advisory assistance. The organization is listed as based at Chester Street, Manchester, New Hampshire, United States.
