HS v2022 Code: 870124

About tractors; road tractors for semi-trailers, with only electric motors for propulsion

HS code 870124 covers road tractors for semi-trailers that are powered solely by electric motors. These specialized vehicles play a crucial role in the transportation and logistics industry, facilitating the movement of goods and materials across vast distances. As the global economy becomes increasingly interconnected, the demand for efficient and environmentally-friendly transportation solutions has grown, making this industry a key contributor to the overall economic landscape.

Production process

The production of electric road tractors for semi-trailers involves a complex manufacturing process that combines advanced engineering, precision assembly, and cutting-edge technology. Manufacturers begin by designing the vehicle's frame and chassis, ensuring it can withstand the rigors of heavy-duty hauling. The electric powertrain, including the motors, batteries, and control systems, is then integrated into the vehicle's structure. Finally, the cab, suspension, and other components are added to create a complete, road-ready tractor.

Production inputs

The production of 870124 Tractors; road tractors for semi-trailers, with only electric motors for propulsion requires a range of specialized inputs. Key raw materials include high-strength steel, aluminum, and advanced composite materials for the vehicle's body and frame. Sophisticated electric motors, lithium-ion batteries, and advanced electronic control systems are essential components. Manufacturers also rely on specialized machinery and tools for the assembly and testing of these vehicles.

Production outputs

The primary output of 870124 Tractors; road tractors for semi-trailers, with only electric motors for propulsion is the electric road tractor itself, which is then used in conjunction with 860120 Railway or tramway coaches, vans and trucks, self-propelled and 860130 Railway or tramway coaches, vans and trucks, not self-propelled to form complete semi-trailer truck combinations. These electric tractors are designed to reduce emissions and improve fuel efficiency, making them an increasingly popular choice for long-haul transportation and logistics operations.
