Motorcycles and side-cars

CPC v2.1 Code: 4991

About motorcycles and side-cars

cpc code 4991 covers the manufacturing of motorcycles and side-cars, a vital component of the transportation industry. This sector plays a crucial role in providing affordable and efficient mobility solutions, particularly in regions with limited access to public transportation. Motorcycles and side-cars are widely used for personal, commercial, and recreational purposes, contributing to the overall economic development and connectivity within communities.

Production process

The production of motorcycles and side-cars involves a series of complex processes, including metal stamping, welding, and assembly. Manufacturers utilize advanced technologies, such as computer-aided design (CAD) and computer-numerical control (CNC) machining, to ensure precision and efficiency in the manufacturing process. The final assembly stage involves the integration of various components, such as the engine, transmission, suspension, and electrical systems, to create a functional and reliable vehicle.

Production inputs

The production of motorcycles and side-cars requires a range of inputs, including 3312 Metal Fabrication, 3336 Engine and Turbine Manufacturing, and 3359 Other Electrical Equipment and Component Manufacturing. Manufacturers also rely on specialized machinery, such as 3336 Engine and Turbine Manufacturing and 3339 Other General-Purpose Machinery Manufacturing, to ensure the quality and consistency of the final product.

Production outputs

The primary output of cpc code 4991 is the production of motorcycles and side-cars, which are then consumed by various industries, including 4922 Other Transportation and Warehousing, 4923 Taxi and Limousine Service, and 4924 School and Employee Bus Transportation. These vehicles are also used for personal transportation, recreational activities, and last-mile delivery services, contributing to the overall mobility and connectivity within the economy.
