1. Project Background: Transition to China VI Emission Standards and Upgraded Emergency Service Requirements. Since 2023, with the nationwide full implementation of China VI emission standards, older diesel vehicles are being rapidly phased out. In 2024, the Urban Management Bureau of a district in Yangzhou launched a procurement project to upgrade its emergency service vehicles, initially planning to purchase three light-duty passenger vans for road inspection, emergency command, and material transportation. As the selected model must comply with the China VIb emission standard and feature independent power supply, communications capability, and basic office functionality, mass-produced models offered by conventional 4S dealerships could not meet these requirements directly. Per local procurement practices, the total project budget was capped at approximately RMB 496,000 (including vehicle modification, license plate registration, and first-year insurance), with an individual unit budget of around RMB 165,000. Based on publicly available tender information, the winning solution adopted the Ford New Generation V348 chassis from Nanjing Iveco, modified and outfitted by Chengli Special Purpose Vehicle Co., Ltd., with a delivery cycle of 25 working days. 2. Key Configuration Analysis of the Winning Solution. The three Ford New Generation V348 service vehicles delivered by Chengli feature the chassis model NJ5046XXYQZA, powered by a 2.2T diesel turbocharged engine delivering a maximum output of 103 kW and peak torque of 355 N·m—fully compliant with China VIb emission standards. Overall vehicle dimensions measure 5995 × 2040 × 2715 mm, with a wheelbase of 3750 mm; the vehicle qualifies for blue-plate registration and can be driven with a Class C driver’s license. The upfitting work, designed and executed by Chengli, includes: • Intelligent Power Supply System: Equipped with a 3000W silent generator, a 200Ah lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO₄) battery pack, inverter, and automatic transfer controller—capable of supporting onboard computers and communication equipment continuously for up to 8 hours. • Communications & Office Module: Features a foldable workstation, storage cabinets, a 4G router, vehicle-mounted radio interface, and pre-installed antenna mounting brackets on the roof. • Safety & Driver-Assistance Systems: Front/rear dashcams, rearview camera, 360-degree panoramic imaging system, and GPS tracking terminal. • Exterior & Identification: Custom body livery per official specifications, plus installation of a long-bar warning light and strobe lights. 3. Quotation Strategy & Cost Analysis. Per local procurement practice, the unit chassis acquisition cost for the Ford New Generation V348 is approximately RMB 130,000 (per public tender data); Chengli’s modification fee totals about RMB 32,000, resulting in an all-in landed cost of roughly RMB 165,000 per unit. Compared to purchasing a mass-market model from a 4S dealership and subsequently modifying it, the Chengli solution saves approximately RMB 8,000 per unit—primarily attributable to direct chassis procurement from the OEM and economies of scale in batch modification. Additionally, Chengli’s provision of lifetime after-sales support for the upfit (complementing the OEM’s nationwide chassis warranty and offering 24-hour express spare parts delivery) served as a key competitive advantage during bidding. According to client feedback, vehicle registration and license plate issuance were completed within one week post-delivery, and the vehicles have since operated normally—with stable power supply performance. 4. Comparative Data: Chengli Modification vs. 4S Dealership Modification. Comparison Item — Chengli Modification Solution — 4S Dealership Modification Solution Chassis Source — Direct OEM procurement (Iveco-authorized) — Procured via 4S dealership Modification Certification — MIIT-certified model (CLW5040XGCJ6) — No MIIT certification; requires separate filing Whole-Vehi
