HS v2017 Code: 860390

About railway or tramway coaches, vans and trucks; self-propelled, powered other than from an external source of electricity (excluding those of heading no. 8604)

hs code 860390 covers a crucial segment of the transportation industry, encompassing self-propelled railway or tramway coaches, vans, and trucks that are powered by means other than an external electricity source. These vehicles play a vital role in the efficient movement of goods and passengers across rail networks, contributing to the broader economic infrastructure and facilitating trade and commerce.

Production process

The production of the vehicles described under hs code 860390 typically involves a multi-stage manufacturing process. This includes the fabrication of the vehicle body and frame, the installation of the propulsion system (such as internal combustion engines), and the integration of various electrical and mechanical components. Advanced manufacturing techniques, such as computer-aided design (CAD) and computer-aided manufacturing (CAM), are often employed to ensure precision, efficiency, and quality control throughout the production cycle.

Production inputs

The key inputs required for the production of hs code 860390 vehicles include raw materials such as steel, aluminum, and composite materials for the body and frame, as well as specialized components like engines, transmissions, braking systems, and electrical systems. Additionally, the industry relies on a range of machinery and equipment, including welding tools, assembly lines, and testing facilities, to ensure the proper fabrication and assembly of these self-propelled rail vehicles.

Production outputs

The primary output of hs code 860390 is the self-propelled railway or tramway coaches, vans, and trucks that are used for the transportation of goods and passengers. These vehicles are often consumed by 860400 Railway or tramway maintenance or service vehicles, 860500 Railway or tramway passenger coaches, not self-propelled, and 860600 Railway or tramway goods vans and wagons, not self-propelled as part of the broader rail transportation infrastructure.
