About vehicles; compression-ignition internal combustion piston engine (diesel or semi-diesel), for transport of goods, (of a g.v.w. exceeding 20 tonnes), n.e.c. in item no 8704.1

hs code 870423 covers a crucial segment of the transportation industry, focusing on heavy-duty vehicles equipped with compression-ignition internal combustion piston engines, commonly known as diesel or semi-diesel engines. These vehicles, with a gross vehicle weight (g.v.w.) exceeding 20 tonnes, play a vital role in the global supply chain, facilitating the efficient movement of goods across vast distances.

Production process

The production of vehicles under hs code 870423 involves a complex and highly-engineered manufacturing process. Key steps include the assembly of the chassis, the installation of the diesel or semi-diesel engine, the integration of transmission systems, and the incorporation of specialized cargo-handling equipment. Precision engineering, advanced materials, and sophisticated quality control measures are essential to ensure the durability, reliability, and safety of these heavy-duty transport vehicles.

Production inputs

The production of vehicles under hs code 870423 requires a range of specialized inputs, including high-strength steel and aluminum alloys for the chassis and body components, advanced diesel or semi-diesel engines, sophisticated transmission systems, and specialized cargo-handling equipment. Additionally, the industry relies on a skilled workforce, advanced manufacturing technologies, and a robust supply chain to ensure the timely and efficient delivery of these critical transportation assets.

Production outputs

Vehicles classified under hs code 870423 are primarily used for the transport of goods, serving as the backbone of the global logistics industry. Their outputs are consumed by a wide range of industries, including 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), n.e.c. in item no 8704.1), 870422 (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), and 870431 (Vehicles; spark-ignition internal combustion piston engine, for transport of goods, (of a g.v.w. exceeding 20 tonnes), n.e.c. in item no 8704.1).
