About engines; reciprocating piston engines, of a kind used for the propulsion of vehicles of chapter 87, of a cylinder capacity exceeding 1000cc

hs code 840734 covers reciprocating piston engines with a cylinder capacity exceeding 1000cc, which are used to propel vehicles classified under chapter 87 of the Harmonized System. These powerful engines are a critical component in the automotive industry, providing the necessary power and performance for a wide range of vehicles, from passenger cars to commercial trucks. The global demand for these engines is driven by the continued growth and development of the automotive sector, making this a significant industry within the broader economy.

Production process

The production of reciprocating piston engines classified under hs code 840734 typically involves a multi-step process. This begins with the manufacturing of the engine block, which is often made from cast iron or aluminum alloy. The engine block is then machined to precise specifications, ensuring the accurate placement of the cylinder bores and crankshaft. The crankshaft, pistons, and connecting rods are then assembled, followed by the installation of the camshaft, valves, and other critical components. Finally, the engine is tested, tuned, and prepared for installation in the target vehicle.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of engines under hs code 840734 include raw materials such as cast iron, aluminum alloy, and various metals for the engine components. Specialized machinery, such as CNC machines, welding equipment, and assembly lines, are also essential for the manufacturing process. Additionally, the industry relies on a skilled workforce, including engineers, technicians, and production workers, to ensure the quality and efficiency of the final product.

Production outputs

The primary output of the industry covered by hs code 840734 is reciprocating piston engines with a cylinder capacity exceeding 1000cc, which are used to power a wide range of vehicles, including passenger cars, commercial trucks, and other heavy-duty equipment. These engines are often consumed by manufacturers of 870000 Vehicles other than railway or tramway rolling-stock, and parts and accessories thereof, who then integrate them into their final products.
