model series
A series of technically largely identical or similar products, especially vehicles, machines, or devices, that are manufactured during a certain period of time.
Dieses Automodell ist das erfolgreichste seiner Baureihe und wurde über eine Million Mal verkauft.
This car model is the most successful in its model series and has sold over a million units.
The word is made up of 'Bau' (construction/build) and 'Reihe' (series). 'Bau' comes from 'bauen' (to build), and 'Reihe' means series. A 'Baureihe' is therefore literally a 'series of built things,' which explains the technical meaning well.
Die Lokomotiven dieser Baureihe wurden zwischen 1980 und 1990 gebaut.
The locomotives in this model series were built between 1980 and 1990.
This term is used almost exclusively in technical fields. People speak of a 'Baureihe' (model series) with cars, trains, airplanes, engines, or even household appliances.
Mein Auto ist aus einer älteren Baureihe, aber es fährt noch sehr gut.
My car is from an older model series, but it still drives very well.
Common combinations are 'neue Baureihe' (new model series), 'komplette Baureihe' (complete model series), or 'die erste Baureihe' (the first model series). The model series is also often identified by a number or code.
Der Hersteller ruft alle Fahrzeuge einer bestimmten Baureihe zurück in die Werkstatt.
The manufacturer is recalling all vehicles from a specific model series to the workshop.
