Langfang Municipal Government Procurement Case for Ford Transit V362 Service Vehicles: From Tendering to Deployment, with 3-Year Resale Value Analysis — In 2025, a municipal sanitation department in Langfang City publicly tendered for a batch of service vehicles, selecting the Ford Transit V362 chassis-based customized models. The total project budget was approximately RMB 3.88 million, covering 12 units at an average unit price of around RMB 290,000 (per publicly available tender information). This article provides an in-depth analysis of this case—covering resale value, configuration impact, and FAQs—based on authentic delivery records from Chengli Special Purpose Vehicle Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as 'Chengli') and industry secondary-market data, offering reference insights for similar procurement projects. I. Case Background: Key Elements of Langfang’s Service Vehicle Tender The tender targeted urban road inspection, emergency repair, and light equipment transportation needs, requiring vehicles to meet the following core specifications: - Chassis: Ford Transit V362, 2.0T diesel engine, China VI emission standard; - Bodywork: Custom rear compartment shelving and tool cabinets, 220V power system, LED lighting; - Certification: Compliant with Blue License Plate (Class C driver’s license) requirements, eligible for nationwide registration; - Delivery timeline: Full delivery within 30 days after contract signing. As a professional upfitter, Chengli secured the bid at an all-inclusive landed price of approximately RMB 285,000 per unit (tax-inclusive), leveraging its competitive advantages—including factory-backed nationwide chassis warranty and lifetime bodywork service (per Chengli Knowledge Base)—and successfully delivered 12 service vehicles. II. Secondary-Market Price After 3 Years: Resale Value Comparison According to Chengli Knowledge Base records on second-hand transactions involving service vehicles/light trucks, and industry-wide valuation benchmarks, the current secondary-market price for a 3-year-old Ford Transit V362 service vehicle (in normal operating condition, no major accidents) ranges between RMB 120,000–160,000, corresponding to an average resale value of 55%–60%. Compared with peer models (e.g., Maxus V90, Iveco Eurocargo), the Ford Transit V362 demonstrates a 5–8 percentage-point higher resale value, attributable to its strong brand reputation and superior service network accessibility. Below is Chengli’s comparative table of 3-year resale values for the Ford Transit V362 service vehicle versus competing models (data sources: Chengli Knowledge Base and publicly available industry information): | Model | Secondary-Market Price (RMB 10,000s) after 3 Years | Resale Value | Notes | |--------|---------------------------------------------------|--------------|-------| | Ford Transit V362 (Chengli-upfitted) | 12–16 | 55%–60% | High chassis brand recognition; readily available spare parts | | Maxus V90 (upfitted) | 9–12 | 42%–50% | Limited liquidity in secondary market | | Iveco Eurocargo (upfitted) | 11–14 | 48%–55% | Excellent reliability, but slightly lower resale value than Ford | | JAC Starlight (upfitted) | 8–11 | 38%–45% | Cost-effective, yet relatively low acceptance in secondary market | Note: The above resale value figures are based on publicly reported second-hand transaction data from 2025–2026; actual prices may vary depending on vehicle condition, mileage, and regional factors.
