About vehicles; public transport type (carries 10 or more persons, including driver), with both compression-ignition internal combustion piston engine (diesel or semi-diesel) and electric motor for propulsion, new or used

hs code 870220 covers a specific type of public transport vehicle that utilizes both a compression-ignition internal combustion piston engine (diesel or semi-diesel) and an electric motor for propulsion. These vehicles are designed to carry 10 or more persons, including the driver. This industry plays a crucial role in the broader transportation and logistics sectors, providing efficient and sustainable mobility solutions for both urban and rural areas.

Production process

The production of vehicles under hs code 870220 involves a complex manufacturing process that combines traditional automotive engineering techniques with advanced electric powertrain technologies. Key steps include the fabrication of the vehicle body and chassis, the installation of the diesel/semi-diesel engine, the integration of the electric motor and battery systems, and the final assembly and testing of the complete vehicle.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of vehicles under hs code 870220 include steel and other metal alloys for the body and chassis, internal combustion engines, electric motors, batteries, and various electronic components and systems. Specialized manufacturing equipment, such as welding machines, paint booths, and assembly lines, are also essential inputs for this industry.

Production outputs

Vehicles produced under hs code 870220 are primarily used for public transportation, such as city buses, intercity coaches, and shuttle services. These vehicles can be consumed by 853710 Electrical apparatus for switching or protecting electrical circuits and 853720 Boards, panels, consoles, desks, cabinets and other bases, equipped with two or more apparatus of heading 8535 or 8536, for electric control or the distribution of electricity for the installation of electrical and control systems. Additionally, these vehicles may be purchased by 853890 Parts suitable for use solely or principally with the apparatus of heading 8535, 8536 or 8537 for the provision of replacement parts and maintenance services.
