I. Case Background: Municipal Sanitation Department in Qingdao Procures Ford New Generation V348 Service Vehicles In 2025, a municipal sanitation department in Qingdao launched a public tender to procure five Ford New Generation V348 service vehicles, driven by needs for road inspection, emergency repairs, and equipment maintenance across its jurisdiction. This model is widely applied in municipal service sectors due to its stable chassis, flexible interior space, and high adaptability for customization. According to publicly available tender information, the project budget was controlled at approximately RMB 2.232 million, requiring specialized upper-body equipment—including shelving units, tool cabinets, an onboard power supply system, and warning lights. Ultimately, Chengli Special Purpose Vehicle Co., Ltd. provided the customized solution and delivered five service vehicles built on the Ford New Generation V348 chassis. Each unit cost approximately RMB 390,000. Customers reported that the chassis enjoys original-equipment manufacturer (OEM) nationwide warranty coverage, while the upper-body components are backed by Chengli’s lifetime service commitment. Moreover, the delivery cycle was only 12 days—significantly enhancing operational efficiency. II. Cross-Regional Replication: From Qingdao Experience to Other Cities in Shandong Province The success of the Qingdao project quickly attracted attention from neighboring provinces and cities. In early 2026, a district-level urban management bureau in Yantai City planned to procure eight similar service vehicles for urban road inspection and emergency response. Drawing upon Qingdao’s vehicle selection experience, the Yantai project adjusted specifications per local procurement practices: the budget was capped at approximately RMB 3.663 million, and additional requirements included an onboard communication system and a rear-mounted access ladder. Leveraging the standardized solution developed for Qingdao, Chengli rapidly adapted the upper-body configuration. Using the CLW5070GSSD6 announcement model (sourced from the MIIT parameter database) as the base, the company upgraded shelf height and power capacity of the electrical system to meet Yantai’s specific needs. Ultimately, eight vehicles were delivered at approximately RMB 400,000 per unit. The customer commented: “The solution is mature and delivery is fast—eliminating the need for time-consuming redesign.” Such cross-regional replication is common in Chengli’s service case portfolio. For example, Wuhan Urban Management Bureau’s order for 15 street-sweeping vehicles and Henan Provincial Sanitation Office’s order for 10 five-cubic-meter water-sprinkling trucks were both implemented swiftly via the ‘core solution + localized optimization’ approach. According to Chengli sales representative Zhang Yue (): “We have accumulated extensive data on municipal service vehicle customization. As long as customers specify their requirements, we can rapidly generate drawings and initiate production based on existing MIIT-approved models.” III. Standardized Solution Implementation: End-to-End Process from Vehicle Selection to Acceptance Taking the Yantai project as an example, implementation of the standardized solution followed these steps: • Needs Assessment: Clarified vehicle functions—including road inspection, equipment transportation, and on-site maintenance—and confirmed the chassis model (Ford New Generation V348 long-wheelbase version). • Announcement Matching: Selected compliant, registration-ready models meeting China VI emission standards from Chengli’s product database (946 models), such as CLW5040XXH6. • Customization Design: Optimized shelving layout, added anti-slip floor mats, and upgraded the electronic control system—based on lessons learned from the Qingdao project. • Production & Delivery: Manufactured locally in Suizhou; zero-inventory dispatch. Standard models are typically delivered within 7–15 days. The Ya
