In order to provide an apparatus ( 1 ) and method for marking a road vehicle, which minimises the scale of constructions placed on a factory floor, the apparatus comprises, a marking vehicle ( 4 ) comprising a motor for driving the marking vehicle, a laser emitter, a laser beam delivery means ( 5 ) for delivering a laser beam from the laser emitter to a selectable position of the vehicle and a marking head ( 28 ), contactable with a part of a road vehicle to be marked and configured to direct the laser beam to define a pattern. In a preferred embodiment, the marking vehicle is driven on a floor surface ( 2 ) which includes a road vehicle station. A two-dimensional electricity power supply grid ( 8 ) is preferably mounted above the vehicle station, the marking vehicle ( 4 ) being provided with a contact ( 7 ) for contacting the electricity power supply grid ( 8 ) and for supplying electrical power obtained from the power supply grid to the marking vehicle. There may also be a detectable track ( 3 ), formed on the floor surface, surrounding the road vehicle station, the marking vehicle ( 4 ) comprising a motor for driving the marking vehicle, steering means for steering the marking vehicle and a detector for detecting the detectable track ( 3 ), the steering means being controllable to steer the marking vehicle to follow the detectable track detected by the detector.
