Vehicles; with both spark-ignition internal combustion piston engine and electric motor for propulsion, incapable of being charged by plugging to external source of electric power

HS v2022 Code: 870340

About vehicles; with both spark-ignition internal combustion piston engine and electric motor for propulsion, incapable of being charged by plugging to external source of electric power

HS code 870340 covers a specific type of hybrid vehicle that combines a spark-ignition internal combustion engine with an electric motor for propulsion. These vehicles are unable to be recharged by plugging into an external power source, distinguishing them from fully electric or plug-in hybrid vehicles. This industry plays a crucial role in the broader automotive sector, providing consumers with an alternative powertrain option that aims to balance the benefits of both traditional and electric drivetrains.

Production process

The production of vehicles under HS code 870340 involves the integration of several key components. First, the internal combustion engine is manufactured and assembled, typically using established techniques such as casting, machining, and assembly of engine blocks, pistons, crankshafts, and other parts. The electric motor and associated power electronics are then integrated with the engine, requiring specialized knowledge in electric drivetrain design and integration. Finally, the vehicle body, chassis, and other systems are assembled around the powertrain to create the complete hybrid vehicle.

Production inputs

The production of HS code 870340 vehicles requires a range of inputs, including raw materials such as steel, aluminum, and various plastics for the vehicle body and components. Specialized parts and components, such as the internal combustion engine, electric motor, batteries, and power electronics, are also essential inputs. Additionally, the industry relies on advanced manufacturing equipment, including assembly lines, welding machines, and testing facilities, as well as a skilled workforce capable of integrating the various systems and technologies.

Production outputs

Vehicles classified under HS code 870340 are primarily intended for personal transportation, serving as an alternative to traditional internal combustion engine vehicles and fully electric vehicles. The output of this industry may be consumed by 870321 Vehicles; with spark-ignition internal combustion reciprocating piston engine, of a cylinder capacity not exceeding 1,000 cc, 870322 Vehicles; with spark-ignition internal combustion reciprocating piston engine, of a cylinder capacity exceeding 1,000 cc but not exceeding 1,500 cc, and 870323 Vehicles; with spark-ignition internal combustion reciprocating piston engine, of a cylinder capacity exceeding 1,500 cc but not exceeding 3,000 cc, as these hybrid vehicles can serve as substitutes or complementary products within the broader passenger vehicle market.
