About chassis; fitted with engines, for the motor vehicles of heading no. 8701 to 8705

hs code 8706 covers the chassis of motor vehicles, fitted with engines, for vehicles classified under headings 8701 to 8705. This includes the chassis of cars, trucks, buses, and other motor vehicles. The chassis is a critical component that provides the structural foundation for the vehicle, supporting the body, engine, and other essential systems. This industry plays a vital role in the broader automotive manufacturing sector, which is a significant contributor to the global economy.

Production process

The production of chassis fitted with engines involves several key steps. First, the steel or aluminum frame of the chassis is fabricated and assembled, often using advanced welding techniques. The engine, transmission, and other powertrain components are then installed and integrated with the chassis. This is followed by the installation of suspension systems, brakes, and other essential systems. Finally, the chassis is tested and inspected to ensure it meets safety and performance standards before being delivered to the vehicle manufacturer.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of hs code 8706 chassis include steel or aluminum for the frame, as well as various mechanical and electrical components such as engines, transmissions, suspension systems, and brakes. Specialized machinery and tools are also necessary for the fabrication, assembly, and testing of the chassis. Additionally, skilled labor, including engineers, technicians, and production workers, is a critical input for this industry.

Production outputs

The primary output of hs code 8706 is the chassis fitted with engines, which is then used by manufacturers of motor vehicles classified under headings 8701 Tractors, 8702 Motor vehicles for the transport of ten or more persons, including the driver, 8703 (Motor cars and other motor vehicles principally designed for the transport of persons (other than those of heading 8702), including station wagons and racing cars), 8704 Motor vehicles for the transport of goods, and 8705 (Special purpose motor vehicles, other than those principally designed for the transport of persons or goods (for example, breakdown lorries, crane lorries, fire fighting vehicles, concrete-mixer lorries, road sweeper lorries, spraying lorries, mobile workshops, mobile radiological units)).
