Vehicle component selection system and method

A computer-implemented component selection system comprising:

• a computer configured to
• receive first configuration data defining a first vehicle assembly configuration;
• receive category data including a vehicle position indicator, the category data defining a component category;
• receive component data defining a vehicle component;
• store the configuration data and the category data in memory;
• automatically determine whether the component data satisfies a selected vehicle assembly configuration definition;
• automatically determine whether the component data satisfies a selected component category definition based on the vehicle position indicator;
• and
• output a representation of the vehicle component if the component data satisfies the selected vehicle assembly configuration definition and the selected component category definition thereby automatically selecting the component.
