HS v2022 Code: 870122

About tractors; road tractors for semi-trailers, with both compression-ignition internal combustion piston engine (diesel or semi-diesel) and electric motors for propulsion

HS code 870122 covers a critical segment of the transportation equipment industry - road tractors for semi-trailers. These specialized vehicles are essential for the efficient movement of goods across long distances, playing a vital role in global supply chains and international trade. As economies continue to grow and consumer demand rises, the demand for reliable and versatile road tractors has become increasingly important, making this industry a key contributor to the broader economy.

Production process

The production of road tractors for semi-trailers under HS code 870122 involves a complex manufacturing process. It typically begins with the fabrication of the chassis and frame, which are designed to support the weight of the trailer and its cargo. The engine, both the compression-ignition internal combustion piston engine (diesel or semi-diesel) and the electric motors, are then installed and integrated with the vehicle's drivetrain. The cab, which houses the driver and various controls, is also assembled and fitted with the necessary components, such as the steering system, brakes, and electrical systems. Finally, the tractor is subjected to rigorous testing and quality control measures before being delivered to the customer.

Production inputs

The production of road tractors for semi-trailers under HS code 870122 requires a range of inputs, including steel and other metals for the chassis and frame, specialized engines and electric motors, electronic components for the vehicle's systems, and various other materials and parts. Manufacturers also rely on advanced manufacturing equipment, such as welding machines, assembly lines, and testing facilities, to ensure the quality and efficiency of the production process. Additionally, skilled labor, including engineers, technicians, and assembly workers, is essential for the successful manufacture of these complex vehicles.

Production outputs

The primary output of the industry covered by HS code 870122 is road tractors for semi-trailers, which are then used to haul various types of cargo and goods. These tractors may be used in conjunction with 870410 Dumpers designed for off-highway use, [nc_link(870421)(Trucks with a compression-ignition internal combustion piston engine (diesel or semi-diesel)), and other transportation equipment to facilitate the movement of goods across different modes of transportation.
