Vehicles; with both spark-ignition internal combustion piston engine and electric motors for propulsion, of a g.v.w. not exceeding 5,000kg
HS v2022 Code: 870451
About vehicles; with both spark-ignition internal combustion piston engine and electric motors for propulsion, of a g.v.w. not exceeding 5,000kg
HS code 870451 covers a specific category of vehicles that combine a spark-ignition internal combustion piston engine with an electric motor for propulsion. These hybrid vehicles, with a gross vehicle weight (g.v.w.) not exceeding 5,000kg, play a crucial role in the global transportation industry, offering a balance between traditional internal combustion engines and emerging electric vehicle technologies. This code is particularly important as governments and consumers increasingly prioritize fuel efficiency and reduced emissions, driving the demand for more environmentally-friendly transportation solutions.
Production process
The production of vehicles under HS code 870451 involves the integration of several key components. Manufacturers first assemble the vehicle's frame and body, incorporating the necessary structural elements. The spark-ignition internal combustion piston engine is then installed, along with the electric motor and associated power electronics. The integration of these two propulsion systems, including the control systems that manage their interaction, is a critical aspect of the production process. Finally, the vehicle is outfitted with the necessary electrical systems, including the battery pack, charging components, and control interfaces.
Production inputs
The production of vehicles under HS code 870451 requires a range of inputs, including raw materials such as steel, aluminum, and various plastics for the vehicle body and components. Specialized machinery and equipment, such as assembly lines, welding stations, and testing facilities, are essential for the manufacturing process. Additionally, the production relies on advanced electronic components, including electric motors, batteries, and control systems, as well as internal combustion engine parts and related systems.
Production outputs
Vehicles classified under HS code 870451 are primarily used for personal transportation and light commercial applications. These hybrid vehicles are often consumed by 870321 Passenger cars with spark-ignition internal combustion reciprocating piston engine, 870322 Passenger cars with diesel or semi-diesel engines, and 870324 Other vehicles, with both spark-ignition internal combustion reciprocating piston engine and electric motor as motors for propulsion, of a gross vehicle weight not exceeding 5 tonnes, as they provide a balance between traditional and emerging propulsion technologies.
