About vehicles; with both compression-ignition internal combustion piston engine (diesel/semi-diesel) and electric motor as motor for propulsion, unassembled as in section 14, (gvw not exceeding 5000kg), for the transport of goods, vans
HS code 870441 covers a specific category of vehicles that are designed for the transport of goods. These vehicles are equipped with both a compression-ignition internal combustion piston engine (diesel/semi-diesel) and an electric motor, providing a hybrid propulsion system. This type of vehicle is particularly well-suited for urban and suburban environments, where the electric motor can be utilized for low-emission, fuel-efficient operation, while the diesel/semi-diesel engine provides the necessary power and range for longer journeys. The 870441 classification plays a crucial role in the broader transportation and logistics sectors, catering to the growing demand for eco-friendly and versatile commercial vehicles.
Production process
The production of vehicles classified under HS code 870441 involves a complex manufacturing process that combines traditional automotive assembly techniques with the integration of advanced electric and hybrid powertrain components. The key steps include the fabrication of the vehicle's body and frame, the installation of the diesel/semi-diesel engine and electric motor, the integration of the hybrid drivetrain system, and the final assembly and testing of the complete vehicle. Manufacturers often utilize advanced automation and robotics to ensure consistent quality and efficiency in the production process.
Production inputs
The production of vehicles under HS code 870441 requires a wide range of inputs, including raw materials such as steel, aluminum, and various plastics for the body and frame construction. Additionally, the vehicles require specialized components such as the diesel/semi-diesel engine, electric motor, batteries, and power electronics. Manufacturers also rely on various types of machinery, tools, and equipment to facilitate the assembly and testing processes. The availability and quality of these inputs are crucial for the successful production of these hybrid commercial vehicles.
Production outputs
Vehicles classified under HS code 870441 are primarily intended for the transport of goods, such as 870421 Vehicles; for the transport of goods, diesel powered, gvw not exceeding 5 tonnes, 870422 Vehicles; for the transport of goods, diesel powered, gvw exceeding 5 tonnes but not exceeding 20 tonnes, and 870423 Vehicles; for the transport of goods, diesel powered, gvw exceeding 20 tonnes. These hybrid vehicles can also be used in various other applications, such as 870431 Vehicles; for the transport of goods, with spark-ignition internal combustion piston engine, gvw not exceeding 5 tonnes and 870432 Vehicles; for the transport of goods, with spark-ignition internal combustion piston engine, gvw exceeding 5 tonnes.
