I think Älvsby houses in the Nordics are closer to what the article is talking about. Their houses are built from large pieces manufactured at a factory and later assembled at the site.

The article is about homes built as essentially a giant camping trailer. The entire home (sometimes in two pieces, as a "double-wide") is delivered to the property and semi-permanently installed, but can still (theoretically) be moved somewhere else after that.
Strange. In the USA, there is a strong distinction between manufactured, multilateral, mobile homes. You can’t use the terms interchangeably. Double and single wides are manufactured homes, but trailer park homes are definitely in the mobile category.
What’s the difference between a single wide and a trailer park home?
