About vehicles; public transport type (carries 10 or more persons, including driver), with only electric motor for propulsion, new or used

HS code 870240 covers electric-powered public transport vehicles designed to carry 10 or more passengers, including the driver. This classification plays a crucial role in the global transportation industry, as governments and private operators increasingly adopt eco-friendly, electric-powered buses to reduce emissions and improve urban mobility. The demand for these vehicles is driven by the need for sustainable and efficient public transit solutions, particularly in densely populated areas and cities committed to reducing their carbon footprint.

Production process

The production of electric public transport vehicles under HS code 870240 typically involves the assembly of various components, including the chassis, electric motor, battery system, and passenger compartment. Manufacturers utilize advanced manufacturing techniques, such as robotic assembly, to ensure precision and efficiency in the production process. The integration of the electric powertrain, which includes the motor, inverter, and battery pack, is a critical aspect of the manufacturing process, as it determines the vehicle's performance and range.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of HS code 870240 vehicles include the chassis, electric motor, battery system, and various electronic components. Manufacturers often source these components from specialized suppliers, ensuring a reliable and efficient supply chain. Additionally, the production process may require specialized tools, machinery, and skilled labor to assemble the vehicles and ensure compliance with safety and regulatory standards.

Production outputs

The primary output of HS code 870240 is electric-powered public transport vehicles, such as 870240 (Vehicles; public transport type (carries 10 or more persons, including driver), with only electric motor for propulsion, new or used). These vehicles are typically consumed by public transportation authorities, private bus operators, and other entities responsible for providing sustainable and efficient mass transit solutions. The output of this industry may also be used as inputs for other related HS codes, such as 870210 (Vehicles; public transport type (carries 10 or more persons, including driver), with compression-ignition internal combustion piston engine (diesel or semi-diesel)) and [nc_link(870220)(Vehicles; public transport type (carries 10 or more persons, including driver), with spark-ignition internal combustion reciprocating piston engine).
