Vehicles; with only electric motor for propulsion

HS v2022 Code: 870380

About vehicles; with only electric motor for propulsion

HS code 870380 covers vehicles powered solely by electric motors, a rapidly growing segment of the automotive industry. As the global push for sustainable transportation accelerates, these all-electric vehicles have become increasingly important, playing a key role in reducing emissions and transitioning towards a greener economy. This industry is a crucial part of the broader automotive sector, which is a major contributor to international trade and economic activity worldwide.

Production process

The production of vehicles under HS code 870380 involves several key steps. Manufacturers begin by designing the vehicle's body and frame, often using lightweight materials like aluminum or carbon fiber to improve energy efficiency. The electric powertrain, including the battery pack, electric motor, and associated electronics, is then integrated into the vehicle's structure. Advanced manufacturing techniques, such as robotics and automation, are commonly used to ensure precision and efficiency during the assembly process.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of 870380 Vehicles; with only electric motor for propulsion include lithium-ion batteries, electric motors, power electronics, and specialized software and control systems. Manufacturers also rely on a range of raw materials, such as metals, plastics, and composites, to construct the vehicle's body and other components. Additionally, highly skilled engineering and technical personnel are essential for the design, development, and production of these advanced electric vehicles.

Production outputs

Vehicles classified under HS code 870380 are the primary output of this industry. These all-electric cars, SUVs, and light commercial vehicles are then sold to consumers, businesses, and governments, who use them for personal transportation, fleet operations, and other applications. The output of this industry may also be consumed by 870390 Vehicles; with both internal combustion engine and electric motor for propulsion, other than those capable of being charged by plugging to external source of electric power and 870360 Vehicles; with both internal combustion engine and electric motor as motors for propulsion, capable of being charged by plugging to external source of electric power as the electric vehicle market continues to evolve and diversify.
