About vehicles; public transport type (carries 10 or more persons, including driver), with only compression-ignition internal combustion piston engine (diesel or semi-diesel), new or used

HS code 870210 covers a critical segment of the transportation industry - public transport vehicles designed to carry 10 or more passengers, including the driver. These vehicles, powered by compression-ignition internal combustion piston engines (diesel or semi-diesel), play a vital role in urban and rural mobility, connecting communities and facilitating the movement of people and goods. This industry is a key contributor to the broader economy, supporting various sectors through the efficient transportation of workers, consumers, and cargo.

Production process

The production of vehicles under HS code 870210 involves a complex manufacturing process. It typically starts with the fabrication of the vehicle frame and body using specialized metalworking techniques, such as stamping, welding, and painting. The engine, transmission, and other powertrain components are then assembled and integrated into the vehicle. Advanced technologies, including computer-aided design (CAD) and computer-aided manufacturing (CAM), are often employed to ensure precision and efficiency in the production process.

Production inputs

The production of vehicles under HS code 870210 requires a range of inputs, including steel, aluminum, and other metals for the frame and body, as well as specialized components such as engines, transmissions, brakes, and electrical systems. Manufacturers also rely on advanced machinery, such as CNC machines, robotic welding equipment, and paint booths, to ensure consistent quality and high productivity. Additionally, skilled labor, including engineers, technicians, and assembly workers, is a crucial input for this industry.

Production outputs

Vehicles classified under HS code 870210 are primarily used for public transportation, such as buses, coaches, and minibuses. These vehicles are often purchased by government agencies, transportation authorities, and private companies to provide commuter and intercity services. The output of this industry may also be consumed by 870290 (Vehicles; public transport type (carries 10 or more persons, including driver), with only compression-ignition internal combustion piston engine (diesel or semi-diesel), used) and 870220 (Vehicles; public transport type (carries 10 or more persons, including driver), with only spark-ignition internal combustion reciprocating piston engine, new or used).
