About engines; reciprocating piston engines, of a kind used for the propulsion of vehicles of chapter 87, of a cylinder capacity exceeding 50cc but not exceeding 250cc

hs code 840732 covers a critical component of the automotive industry - reciprocating piston engines with a cylinder capacity between 50cc and 250cc. These engines are used to power a wide range of vehicles, from motorcycles and scooters to small cars and utility vehicles. This segment of the engine manufacturing industry plays a vital role in the global transportation ecosystem, enabling mobility and economic activity across both developed and developing markets.

Production process

The production of engines under hs code 840732 involves several key steps. First, the engine block and cylinder head are cast from aluminum or cast iron alloys. The crankshaft, connecting rods, and pistons are then precision-machined to tight tolerances. The engine components are then assembled, with the valvetrain, fuel system, and ignition system installed. Finally, the engines undergo rigorous testing to ensure performance, efficiency, and reliability before being shipped to vehicle manufacturers.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of 840732 engines include raw materials such as aluminum, cast iron, and steel for the engine components. Specialized machinery like computer numerical control (CNC) machine tools, casting equipment, and engine assembly lines are also critical inputs. Additionally, the industry relies on a range of precision components like bearings, seals, and sensors, as well as advanced software and controls systems to manage engine performance.

Production outputs

The primary output of the 840732 engine manufacturing industry is, of course, the reciprocating piston engines themselves. These engines are then consumed by the 870000 Vehicles other than railway or tramway rolling-stock, and parts and accessories thereof industry, where they are installed in a wide variety of two-wheeled, three-wheeled, and four-wheeled vehicles. Other related codes that may consume 840732 engines include 840733 Engines; reciprocating piston engines, of a kind used for the propulsion of vehicles of chapter 87, of a cylinder capacity exceeding 250cc and 840734 Engines; reciprocating piston engines, of a kind used for the propulsion of vehicles of chapter 87, of a cylinder capacity exceeding 1000cc.
