Government Procurement Case and Winning Bid Solution Analysis for the Ford New Generation V348 Service Vehicle in Changsha In a 2023 municipal sanitation department procurement project in Changsha, the Ford New Generation V348 service vehicle attracted significant attention due to its versatility and high operational efficiency. Chengli Special Purpose Vehicle Co., Ltd. successfully delivered multiple units, capitalizing on its proven solutions and localized service advantages. Based on this authentic government procurement case, this article offers an in-depth analysis—from volume selection and daily workload calculation to FAQs—on how to select the optimal service vehicle solution. Volume Selection: How to Choose Among 3 m³ / 5 m³ / 8 m³ / 12 m³? Vehicle volume directly impacts operational efficiency. According to Chengli’s knowledge base, common models include water-sprinkling trucks (3–25 m³) and compressed garbage trucks (4–18 m³). Below is an analysis of applicable scenarios for different volumes, based on the Changsha case: • 3 m³ (Blue-plate 5 m³ water-sprinkling truck): Ideal for routine cleaning and dust suppression on narrow streets and residential communities. Per publicly disclosed tender information, a street-level environmental maintenance unit procured such units at approximately RMB 112,000–131,000 (tax-inclusive landed price), making it suitable for small-scale operations with constrained budgets. • 5 m³ (e.g., CLW5070GSSD6 water-sprinkling truck): Suitable for medium- and small-sized industrial parks or main roads, with a typical daily workload of ~20–30 trips. Local procurement practice indicates a unit price of ~RMB 145,000–178,000 (for yellow-plate 8 m³ models); however, the 5 m³ variant offers greater maneuverability. • 8 m³: Designed for mid-sized municipal projects—for example, the 8 m³ water-sprinkling trucks procured by a district urban management bureau in Changsha, capable of handling 40–50 trips per day, priced at ~RMB 198,000–245,000 (per publicly disclosed tender data). • 12 m³: Intended for large-scale sanitation projects—such as industrial parks or major thoroughfares—with daily workloads reaching 60–80 trips, priced at ~RMB 240,000–298,000 (tax-inclusive landed price). Selection Recommendation: In the Changsha case, the client ultimately adopted a combined solution of 5 m³ and 8 m³ vehicles, achieving an optimal balance between flexibility and efficiency.

Daily Workload Calculation Formula To scientifically assess vehicle requirements, the following formula is used: Daily Workload (trips/day) = Total Operational Area (m²) ÷ Single-Trip Coverage Area (m²/trip) Where single-trip coverage area depends on vehicle volume and spraying/sweeping density. Examples: • A 5 m³ water-sprinkling truck (e.g., CLW5070GSSD6) covers ~5,000–8,000 m² per trip (varies with road conditions and spray width). • An 8 m³ model covers ~8,000–12,000 m² per trip. Practical Application: A park in Changsha covers ~100,000 m². Using a 5 m³ truck covering 6,000 m² per trip yields ~17 daily trips (100,000 ÷ 6,000). Switching to an 8 m³ truck (10,000 m²/trip) reduces the requirement to 10 trips—saving both time and fuel costs.
