Emergency Procurement: Xinxiang Municipal Sanitation Department Urgently Purchases CN6 Sewage Treatment Vehicle. In spring 2025, a municipal sanitation department in Xinxiang City encountered an urgent environmental issue: an aging sewage treatment facility became clogged due to equipment deterioration, resulting in increased resident complaints and an immediate need for a high-efficiency sewage treatment vehicle. With limited budget and strict requirements for rapid deployment, ease of operation, and low long-term maintenance costs, the department ultimately procured Chengli Special Purpose Vehicle Co., Ltd.’s CN6 Dongfeng 3308 mm wheelbase sewage treatment vehicle (model CLW5070GSSD6, built on a Dongfeng chassis). This article interprets the case based on publicly available tender information and standard procurement practices, illustrating how Chengli met urgent operational demands. Background of the Emergency Requirement: Dual Pressure from Budget and Timeline According to local procurement conventions, the department faced the following challenges: • Tight Budget: The total project budget was capped at approximately RMB 277,000, covering the complete vehicle, bodywork modification, transportation, and first-year maintenance—translating to a unit price of roughly RMB 200,000–220,000 (per publicly disclosed tender data). • Tight Timeline: From requirement submission to vehicle delivery, the deadline was no more than 20 days—a timeframe unattainable via conventional tendering procedures. • Low Operational Threshold: As frontline operators were mostly part-time staff, the vehicle had to be drivable with a Class C1 driver’s license and feature low fuel consumption and simple maintenance. Chengli Special Purpose Vehicle, as a local manufacturer based in Suizhou, is renowned for its 'zero-inventory shipment' capability and standard delivery lead time of 7–15 days for regular models—making it the natural first choice. After contacting Chengli’s official hotline (), the department consulted Sales Manager Zhang Yue (), who provided a detailed solution. Streamlined Tender Process: Simplified Procedures Focused on Cost-Effectiveness The department adopted an 'emergency procurement' model, significantly simplifying traditional tender steps: • Requirement Confirmation: Clearly specified the need for a CN6-emission-compliant sewage treatment vehicle built on a Dongfeng 3308 mm wheelbase chassis, with a tank capacity of ~3–4 m³ and integrated suction/discharging functionality. • Quotation Comparison: Compared quotations from three local suppliers; Chengli’s all-inclusive landed price (tax included) was ~RMB 220,000—approximately RMB 8,880 lower than equivalent configurations offered by 4S dealerships. • Solution Finalization: Chengli delivered a 'transparent configuration' proposal—no bundled packages—with core components including: Dongfeng Duolika chassis, Yuchai 120-hp engine, 5 m³ tank (per CLW5070GSSD6 official announcement parameters), and dual-stage vacuum pump. • Payment Terms: Adopted installment payment—40% upfront, remaining 60% paid over six months—to alleviate budget pressure. Additionally, the department leveraged Chengli’s 'Trade-in Program', receiving ~RMB 30,000 in trade-in value for an old suction truck, further reducing net cost. • Delivery & Acceptance: Full vehicle delivery occurred just 12 days after order placement. Chengli assigned a dedicated representative to deliver the vehicle to Xinxiang and conduct on-site operator training. Chengli’s Rapid Response & Delivery: Just 12 Days from Order to On-Site Deployment Chengli’s competitive edge lies in direct factory sales and local production in Suizhou. This model utilizes a CN6-compliant Dongfeng chassis (nationwide warranty coverage) and features Chengli’s proprietary superstructure modification. Fully compliant with national type-approval regulations, the vehicle is eligible for registration nationwide. Immediately upon delivery, the vehic
