About containers specially designed and equipped for carriage by one or more modes of transport
cpc code 49221 covers a critical component of the global logistics and transportation industry - containers specially designed and equipped for carriage by one or more modes of transport. These specialized containers play a vital role in facilitating the efficient movement of goods across international borders, enabling seamless multimodal transportation and supporting the growth of international trade and commerce.
Production process
Containers classified under cpc code 49221 are typically manufactured using high-strength steel, aluminum, or composite materials. The production process involves cutting, shaping, and welding the materials to create the container structure, followed by the installation of specialized features such as locking mechanisms, ventilation systems, and temperature control units. Advanced automation and precision engineering techniques are often employed to ensure the containers meet stringent safety and performance standards.
Production inputs
The production of containers under cpc code 49221 requires a range of raw materials, including steel, aluminum, and various composite materials. Additionally, the industry relies on specialized machinery and equipment for the fabrication, assembly, and testing of the containers. 42111 Machinery for the production and finishing of metals and 42121 Machinery for mining, quarrying and construction are examples of key input industries that support the container manufacturing sector.
Production outputs
Containers classified under cpc code 49221 are primarily used for the transportation of goods across multiple modes of transport, including ships, trains, and trucks. These containers are essential for the 51211 Freight transport by road and 51221 Freight transport by railway industries, as well as the 52221 Cargo handling and 52229 Other transportation support activities n.e.c. sectors, which rely on these specialized containers to facilitate the efficient movement of goods.
