Vehicles; with both compression-ignition internal combustion piston engine (diesel or semi-diesel) and electric motor for propulsion, capable of being charged by plugging to external source of electric power

HS v2017 Code: 870370

About vehicles; with both compression-ignition internal combustion piston engine (diesel or semi-diesel) and electric motor for propulsion, capable of being charged by plugging to external source of electric power

hs code 870370 covers a specific type of hybrid vehicle that combines a compression-ignition internal combustion piston engine (diesel or semi-diesel) with an electric motor for propulsion. These vehicles are capable of being charged by plugging into an external source of electric power, making them a versatile and environmentally-friendly option for transportation. This industry plays a crucial role in the broader automotive sector, as it provides consumers with a more sustainable alternative to traditional gasoline-powered vehicles.

Production process

The production of vehicles under hs code 870370 involves a complex manufacturing process that integrates both internal combustion engine and electric motor components. Key steps include the assembly of the chassis, installation of the diesel or semi-diesel engine, integration of the electric motor and battery system, and the final assembly and testing of the complete vehicle. Specialized production techniques, such as precision engineering and advanced electronics integration, are essential to ensure the seamless operation of these hybrid vehicles.

Production inputs

The production of vehicles under hs code 870370 requires a variety of inputs, including raw materials such as steel, aluminum, and plastics for the body and frame, as well as specialized components like the diesel or semi-diesel engine, electric motor, and battery system. Additionally, the industry relies on advanced manufacturing equipment, such as robotic assembly lines and computer-controlled machining tools, to ensure the high-quality and efficient production of these hybrid vehicles.

Production outputs

Vehicles classified under hs code 870370 are primarily used for personal and commercial transportation, providing consumers with a more environmentally-friendly alternative to traditional gasoline-powered vehicles. The output of this industry may be consumed by a variety of other codes, including 870321 Vehicles; with spark-ignition internal combustion reciprocating piston engine, of a cylinder capacity not exceeding 1,000 cc and 870322 Vehicles; with spark-ignition internal combustion reciprocating piston engine, of a cylinder capacity exceeding 1,000 cc but not exceeding 1,500 cc, as well as 870323 Vehicles; with spark-ignition internal combustion reciprocating piston engine, of a cylinder capacity exceeding 1,500 cc but not exceeding 3,000 cc and 870324 Vehicles; with spark-ignition internal combustion reciprocating piston engine, of a cylinder capacity exceeding 3,000 cc.
