HS v2017 Code: 8702

About vehicles; public transport passenger type

hs code 8702 covers vehicles designed for the public transport of passengers. This industry plays a crucial role in the broader transportation and logistics sectors, enabling the efficient movement of people across urban and rural areas. These vehicles are essential for connecting communities, facilitating economic activity, and supporting sustainable development.

Production process

The production of vehicles under hs code 8702 typically involves a multi-stage manufacturing process. This includes the fabrication of the vehicle frame and body, the installation of the powertrain (engine, transmission, and drivetrain), and the integration of various electrical, safety, and comfort systems. Advanced techniques such as computer-aided design (CAD), robotic assembly, and just-in-time manufacturing are commonly employed to ensure quality, efficiency, and cost-effectiveness.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of vehicles under hs code 8702 include raw materials such as steel, aluminum, and plastics for the body and frame, as well as specialized components like engines, transmissions, suspension systems, and electronic control units. Additionally, the industry relies on a range of machinery, tools, and skilled labor to assemble these complex products.

Production outputs

The primary output of the industry covered by hs code 8702 is public transport passenger vehicles, such as buses, coaches, and minibuses. These vehicles are then consumed by 8711 Motorcycles and cycles and 8703 Motor cars and other motor vehicles principally designed for the transport of persons, which may incorporate them into their own transportation solutions or distribute them to end-users, such as public transit authorities, private transportation companies, and individual consumers.
