I. Project Basic Information According to publicly released tender information, this procurement project involved multi-functional service vehicles required by a municipal sanitation department, primarily intended for routine inspections, emergency repairs, and material transportation. Key project details are as follows: Procuring Entity: A Municipal Sanitation Department Vehicle Model: Ford Transit V362 Chassis-Based Customized Service Vehicle Quantity Procured: 3 units Budget Cap: Total budget capped at approximately RMB 858,000 (unit price approx.

Chengli’s solution met all technical specifications while offering a more cost-effective configuration package—securing its competitive advantage in the bidding process. II. Analysis of Chengli’s Bid-Winning Factors Chengli Special Purpose Vehicle emerged as the supplier for this procurement primarily due to the following four strengths: • Comprehensive Official Announcements Enabling Nationwide Registration: Chengli holds complete MIIT (Ministry of Industry and Information Technology) announcements for Ford Transit V362 chassis-based service vehicles, ensuring seamless registration, annual inspection, and commercial operation in Suizhou and across China—eliminating end-user concerns. • Direct Factory Sales Ensuring Cost Control: As a manufacturer, Chengli supplies directly to procuring entities, eliminating intermediaries. Leveraging Chengli’s internal knowledge base indicating typical savings of RMB 8,000–15,000 per unit versus 4S dealership channels for identical configurations, this bid achieved an approximate RMB 14,000 unit-price reduction compared to quotations from other market channels. • Flexible Upfit Customization: To meet the specialized demands of service vehicles, Chengli provided a modular upfit design—partitioning the cargo area into tool storage, equipment mounting, and crew rest zones—with pre-installed electrical and communication interface points—fulfilling the municipal sanitation department’s requirement for ‘one vehicle, multiple functions’. • Reliable After-Sales Support: The chassis is covered under Ford’s nationwide warranty program, while Chengli offers ‘lifetime upfit service’, guaranteeing 24-hour direct shipment of spare parts—a vital assurance for municipal agencies requiring long-term, uninterrupted operations.
