dualing
n.— «Vermont’s proposed new law makes several major changes to the state’s franchise laws to allow the dealers more bargaining power. Miller said the manufacturers now can require dealers to build a separate facility if they want to engage in what is known in the industry as “dualing”—essentially having vehicles from two different manufacturers on the same lot.» —“Vermont auto dealers may get boost from Legislature” by Daniel Barlow Rutland Herald (Vermont) May 7, 2009.
