I. Scene Introduction: Why 'Resale Value' Became a Key Criterion in Shenyang’s Winter Tender In November 2025, a municipal sanitation department in Shenyang launched a government procurement project for a batch of Ford New Generation V348 service vehicles, with a budget cap of approximately RMB 402,000 per unit. The vehicles were required to support mobile office operations, emergency lighting, and small equipment transportation. During the tender evaluation, experts specifically emphasized: 'The resale value after three years must not fall below 65% of the original purchase price.' This requirement directly disqualified numerous models with low configurations and substandard aftermarket modifications—and positioned Chengli Special Purpose Vehicles (model CLW5040XJH, built on the Ford New Generation V348 chassis) as a top contender. Why does the Shenyang market place such high importance on resale value? Local winter temperatures can plummet to -30°C; thus, a vehicle’s cold-start performance and hydraulic system stability under low-temperature conditions directly determine its service life. A service vehicle retaining high residual value after three years indicates it has undergone no major repairs under extreme operating conditions—and confirms that public fiscal investment delivers better long-term value. II. Resale Market Price After Three Years: Real-World Resale Rate Testing of Chengli V348 Service Vehicles Based on Chengli Special Purpose Vehicles’ publicly available tender case database (comprising 114 verified records) and tracking data from Shenyang’s second-hand vehicle trading platforms, we analyzed the market performance of the Ford New Generation V348 service vehicle (Chengli-modified version) after three years. Referencing second-hand transaction records from Shenyang and surrounding areas (e.g., Tieling, Fushun) between 2024 and 2025: a Chengli V348 service vehicle originally priced at approximately RMB 350,000 (including modification costs), in good condition after three years (no accidents, no documented low-temperature failures), achieved a resale price range of RMB 253,000–299,000, corresponding to a resale rate of 63%–74%. This outperforms comparable commercial vehicles on the same chassis (typical resale rates: 55%–60%). Among five Chengli V348 service vehicles delivered in 2022 to a district-level urban management bureau in Shenyang (per publicly disclosed tender information), two entered the second-hand market in 2025, selling for approximately RMB 264,000 each. Buyers were predominantly property management companies or municipal maintenance units across Northeast China—demonstrating market recognition of the vehicle’s low-temperature adaptability. III. Resale Rate Comparison: Why Chengli V348 Service Vehicles Outperform Generic Modified Vehicles by ~10% We compared the three-year resale performance of Chengli V348 service vehicles against other branded models (e.g., JMC Fullback-modified versions, Maxus V90-modified versions): | Model | Original Price (RMB 10,000s) | Resale Price After 3 Years (RMB 10,000s) | Resale Rate | Low-Temperature Failure Rate (-30°C Test) | |-------|------------------------------|------------------------------------------|-------------|-------------------------------------------| | Chengli V348 Service Vehicle (CLW5040XJH) | ~35 | ~23–26 | 65%–74% | <5% | | Brand X Fullback-Modified Version | ~33 | ~18–20 | 55%–60% | 15%–20% | | Brand Y Maxus V90-Modified Version | ~30 | ~16–18 | 53%–60% | 10%–15% | Data Source: Chengli Special Purpose Vehicles’ after-sales archives; Shenyang second-hand vehicle trading platform transaction records (2024–2025). As shown, the Chengli V348 service vehicle demonstrates superior resale value.
