Government Procurement Case and Bid-Winning Solution Analysis for the Ford Transit V362 Service Vehicle in Zhoukou In daily municipal sanitation operations, service vehicles serve as mobile support platforms, fulfilling critical functions such as equipment transportation, staff commuting, and emergency repairs. This article takes the procurement of Ford Transit V362 service vehicles by a municipal sanitation department in Zhoukou as a case study. Through parameter comparisons across five mainstream models—based on Chengli’s MIIT-approved specifications and actual delivery data—it analyzes the design rationale behind the winning bid solution and provides vehicle selection recommendations. Chengli Special Purpose Vehicle Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as 'Chengli')—the supplier for this project—manufactures locally in Suizhou and offers factory-direct sales and lifetime after-sales service. To date, Chengli has delivered related vehicles to over 500 municipal sanitation units, with consistently stable and reliable customer feedback. I. Case Background: Procurement Requirements of a Municipal Sanitation Department in Zhoukou In 2025, a municipal sanitation department in Zhoukou planned to procure a batch of service vehicles for equipment maintenance at local waste transfer stations, transportation of road cleaning supplies, and emergency response. The project budget was capped at approximately RMB 337,000 per unit, with the following key requirements: - Spaciousness: The cargo compartment must accommodate tools, spare parts, and personnel simultaneously, with an interior height of no less than 1.5 meters. - Power Performance: Equipped with a diesel engine of 2.0T or higher displacement, capable of fully loaded operation under complex road conditions. - Reliability: Chassis covered by nationwide warranty; superstructure to be supported by lifetime service, ensuring long-term operational stability. - Regulatory Compliance: Complete official vehicle announcements; eligible for standard registration, annual inspection, and commercial operation licensing. Following a public tender process, Chengli’s Ford Transit V362 service vehicle solution prevailed due to its superior cost-effectiveness, short delivery lead time (7–15 days for standard configurations), and robust after-sales support. A total of five units were ultimately delivered. According to publicly available tender information, the unit price was approximately RMB 150,000, resulting in a total contract value of roughly RMB 750,000. Configuration details were fully transparent, with no bundled pricing packages applied. II.
