CPC v2.1 Code: 492
About bodies (coachwork) for motor vehicles; trailers and semi-trailers; parts and accessories thereof
cpc code 492 encompasses the production and manufacturing of bodies, trailers, and semi-trailers for motor vehicles. This industry plays a crucial role in the broader automotive and transportation sectors, providing essential components and accessories that enable the movement of goods and people across the globe. As a key link in the supply chain, the 492 industry contributes significantly to the overall efficiency and functionality of the transportation infrastructure.
Production process
The production of bodies, trailers, and semi-trailers involves a range of specialized techniques and processes. This typically includes the fabrication of metal frames, the installation of panels and exterior components, the integration of lighting and electrical systems, and the assembly of various accessories and fittings. Manufacturers in this industry often utilize advanced manufacturing technologies, such as computer-aided design (CAD) and computer-numerical control (CNC) machining, to ensure precision, consistency, and efficiency in their operations.
Production inputs
The 492 industry relies on a variety of raw materials and resources to support its production activities. This includes metals, such as steel and aluminum, which are used to construct the frames and structural components. Additionally, the industry requires various types of plastics, rubbers, and composite materials for the fabrication of exterior panels, interior trim, and other accessories. Specialized machinery, such as welding equipment, stamping presses, and assembly lines, are also essential inputs for this industry.
Production outputs
The primary outputs of the 492 industry are the bodies, trailers, and semi-trailers themselves, which are then consumed by the 494 Manufacture of motor vehicles and 495 Manufacture of other transport equipment industries. These components are essential for the production of complete motor vehicles, as well as the transportation of goods and materials. The 492 industry also produces a range of parts and accessories, such as doors, windows, bumpers, and lighting systems, which may be used in the maintenance and repair of existing vehicles.
