HS v2022 Code: 870230

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

HS code 870230 covers a specific type of public transport vehicle that utilizes both a diesel/semi-diesel engine and an electric motor for propulsion. These vehicles, which can carry 10 or more persons including the driver, play a crucial role in urban and intercity transportation systems worldwide. As governments and consumers increasingly prioritize sustainability and emissions reduction, this hybrid technology has become an important part of the broader automotive industry.

Production process

Vehicles classified under HS code 870230 are typically manufactured using a combination of traditional automotive production methods and specialized techniques for integrating the hybrid powertrain. This includes the assembly of the chassis, body, and interior components, as well as the installation of the diesel/semi-diesel engine, electric motor, battery pack, and associated control systems. Careful engineering and testing are required to ensure the optimal performance and efficiency of these complex, dual-propulsion systems.

Production inputs

The production of 870230 (Vehicles; public transport type (carries 10 or more persons, including driver), with both compression-ignition internal combustion piston engine (diesel or semi-diesel) and electric motor for propulsion, new or used) requires a range of inputs, including steel, aluminum, and other metals for the vehicle frame and body, as well as specialized components such as electric motors, batteries, and power electronics. Additionally, the manufacturing process relies on various types of machinery, tools, and skilled labor to assemble the vehicles.

Production outputs

The primary output of HS code 870230 is the 870230 (Vehicles; public transport type (carries 10 or more persons, including driver), with both compression-ignition internal combustion piston engine (diesel or semi-diesel) and electric motor for propulsion, new or used) itself, which is then sold to public transportation operators, government agencies, and other end-users. These vehicles may also be exported to other countries, where they can be used to support local public transit systems. The outputs of this industry may also be consumed by 870240 (Vehicles; public transport type (carries 10 or more persons, including driver), with only electric motor for propulsion, new or used) and other related transportation equipment codes.
