About internal combustion engines of a kind used for motor vehicles

cpc code 4312 covers the industry of manufacturing internal combustion engines for use in motor vehicles. These engines are the heart of most automobiles, powering the wheels and enabling the vehicle's movement. This industry plays a crucial role in the broader automotive sector, which is a significant contributor to the global economy. The production and sale of these engines are essential for the continued operation and development of the transportation industry.

Production process

The production of internal combustion engines for motor vehicles involves a complex series of processes. Key steps include the casting and machining of engine blocks, the assembly of components such as pistons, crankshafts, and valves, and the final testing and quality control measures to ensure the engine's performance and reliability.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for this industry include raw materials such as metals (e.g., aluminum, steel) for the engine block and other components, as well as various lubricants, coolants, and other fluids necessary for the engine's operation. Specialized machinery and equipment, such as CNC machines, welding tools, and assembly lines, are also essential for the efficient production of these engines.

Production outputs

The primary output of this industry is the internal combustion engines themselves, which are then sold to 4501 Motor vehicle manufacturing and 4502 Motor vehicle body and trailer manufacturing companies for installation in their final products. These engines may also be used in other applications, such as 2811 Manufacture of engines and turbines, except aircraft, vehicle and cycle engines.
