HS v2022 Code: 870370

About vehicles; with both compression-ignition internal combustion piston engine (diesel or semi-diesel) and electric motor for propulsion, capable of being charged by plugging to external source of electric power

HS code 870370 covers a specific type of hybrid vehicle that combines a compression-ignition internal combustion piston engine (diesel or semi-diesel) with an electric motor for propulsion. These vehicles are capable of being charged by plugging into an external source of electric power, making them a crucial part of the growing electric and hybrid vehicle industry. This industry plays a significant role in the broader automotive sector, which is a major contributor to the global economy.

Production process

The production of vehicles under HS code 870370 involves the integration of several key components. First, the internal combustion engine, either diesel or semi-diesel, is manufactured and installed. This is then paired with an electric motor and a battery pack that can be recharged from an external power source. The vehicle's electrical systems, including the charging mechanism, are also carefully engineered to ensure seamless operation. Finally, the body and chassis of the vehicle are assembled, incorporating all the necessary mechanical and electrical components.

Production inputs

The production of vehicles under HS code 870370 requires a range of inputs, including raw materials such as steel, aluminum, and various plastics for the body and chassis. Specialized components like the internal combustion engine, electric motor, and battery pack are also essential inputs, often sourced from specialized manufacturers. Additionally, the industry relies on advanced manufacturing equipment, such as assembly lines and robotic systems, as well as skilled labor to assemble the vehicles.

Production outputs

Vehicles classified under HS code 870370 are primarily used as passenger cars and light commercial vehicles. Their hybrid nature makes them attractive options for consumers and businesses seeking to reduce their environmental impact and fuel costs. 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 well as other related vehicle classifications.
