Real-case example: Service vehicle procurement by a municipal sanitation department in Yantai City. In 2025, a municipal sanitation department in Yantai City (hereinafter referred to as 'the client') planned to procure a batch of Ford New Generation V348 service vehicles for daily sanitation inspection, small equipment transportation, and emergency dispatch. The client previously conducted an open tender, evaluating proposals from multiple suppliers. Ultimately, Chengli Special Purpose Vehicle Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as 'Chengli') delivered five units at a unit price of approximately RMB 235,000 (per publicly available tender information), keeping the total budget within approximately RMB 1.313 million. These vehicles have been in operation for over six months, with customer feedback highlighting 'stable chassis, rational modification space, and rapid after-sales service response'. The representativeness of this case lies in the fact that the Ford New Generation V348 service vehicle meets a common government procurement requirement—namely, a 'multi-functional chassis vehicle'—where users typically demand compliance with registration regulations, flexibility in customization, and cost-effectiveness. Leveraging its comprehensive official vehicle announcements (e.g., chassis modification experience for models such as CLW5070GSSD6) and local manufacturing advantages in Suizhou, Chengli provided a solution combining standardization and customization, thereby winning the bid among several competitors. Vehicle Specifications and Modification Plan The vehicles are built upon the Ford New Generation V348 chassis, equipped with a 2.2T diesel engine and a 6-speed manual transmission, meeting China VIb emission standards. Chengli’s body-upfitting solutions include: - Interior compartmentalization and shelving system (for tool and spare parts storage) - Rear hydraulic tailgate (optional, for loading/unloading small equipment) - LED emergency warning light assembly (compliant with industry standards) - Independent power supply modification for air conditioning system (enabling operation during parking) Per MIIT announcement parameters (e.g., reference models such as CLW5070GSSD6), the vehicle’s kerb weight is approximately 2.8 tons, gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) up to 3.5 tons, wheelbase 3,665 mm, and overall dimensions 5,780 × 1,974 × 2,340 mm (L×W×H), with a rated occupancy of 3–6 persons. During modification, Chengli strictly adhered to the principle of 'original-chassis factory warranty + lifetime upper-body service', ensuring reliable cold-start and operational performance in Yantai’s winter conditions (approx. −10°C). Cost Comparison and Delivery Timeline Prior to tendering, the client consulted local 4S dealers; quotations for equivalent-specification bare chassis plus modifications ranged from RMB 290,000 to RMB 313,000 per unit. As a direct manufacturer, Chengli eliminated intermediary markups, finalizing a quotation of approximately RMB 263,000 per unit (per publicly available tender information), saving RMB 25,000–45,000 per vehicle. Across five units, total savings amounted to RMB 125,000–225,000. Regarding delivery, Chengli is located at No. 1 Chengli Avenue, Economic Development Zone, Suizhou City, Hubei Province, and maintains a zero-inventory shipping capability. Standard-model production lead time is 7–15 days. This batch was delivered—including contract signing, registration, and handover—in just 12 working days, 30% faster than scheduled. Customer feedback noted: 'From order placement to vehicle pickup, Sales Manager Zhang Yue (Tel: ) provided end-to-end follow-up, ensuring full transparency throughout the process.'
