About vehicles; compression-ignition internal combustion piston engine (diesel or semi-diesel), for transport of goods, (of a g.v.w. exceeding 5 tonnes but not exceeding 20 tonnes), n.e.c. in item no 8704.1

hs code 870422 covers a crucial segment of the transportation industry, focusing on vehicles with compression-ignition internal combustion piston engines (diesel or semi-diesel) used for the transport of goods. These vehicles, with a gross vehicle weight (g.v.w.) exceeding 5 tonnes but not exceeding 20 tonnes, play a vital role in the global supply chain, facilitating the efficient movement of goods across various industries and markets.

Production process

The production of vehicles under hs code 870422 involves a complex manufacturing process. Key steps include the assembly of the chassis, installation of the diesel or semi-diesel engine, and the integration of various components such as the transmission, suspension, and braking systems. Specialized production lines, advanced automation, and quality control measures ensure the consistent production of these heavy-duty transport vehicles.

Production inputs

The production of vehicles under hs code 870422 requires a range of inputs, including raw materials such as steel, aluminum, and various plastics for the body and frame. Sophisticated engine components, including fuel injection systems, turbochargers, and emission control systems, are also essential inputs. Additionally, the industry relies on specialized machinery, such as welding equipment, paint shops, and assembly lines, to ensure the efficient and high-quality manufacturing of these vehicles.

Production outputs

Vehicles classified under hs code 870422 are primarily used for the transport of goods, serving industries such as 870410 Vehicles; for the transport of goods, dumpers designed for off-highway use, 870421 (Vehicles; compression-ignition internal combustion piston engine (diesel or semi-diesel), for transport of goods, (of a g.v.w. not exceeding 5 tonnes)) and 870423 (Vehicles; compression-ignition internal combustion piston engine (diesel or semi-diesel), for transport of goods, (of a g.v.w. exceeding 20 tonnes)).
