Procurement Case and Solution Analysis for Ford New Generation V348 Service Vehicles by a Municipal Sanitation Department in Weihai. In early 2026, a municipal sanitation department in Weihai launched a procurement project for a batch of Ford New Generation V348 service vehicles to upgrade its capabilities in emergency road repairs, mobile office operations, and equipment transportation within its jurisdiction. After multiple rounds of technical evaluation and commercial negotiations, Chengli Special Purpose Vehicle Co., Ltd.’s proposal was selected as the winning bid. This article provides an in-depth interpretation of the procurement case from dimensions including parameter comparison, configuration differences, applicable scenarios, and vehicle selection recommendations—offering reference for similar organizations. I. Project Background and Requirements Analysis The department routinely handles tasks such as emergency road facility repairs, sanitation equipment inspections, and temporary command dispatches. Its existing fleet is aging and functionally limited, failing to meet requirements for efficient deployment. The target vehicle model must feature: - Flexible interior layout supporting customized modifications (e.g., storage cabinets, workbenches, power systems); - High-chassis reliability suitable for Weihai’s rainy/snowy climate and coastal humid environment; - Strict cost control—the budget, based on publicly disclosed tender information, ranges approximately RMB 333,000–444,000 per unit. After screening, the Ford New Generation V348 chassis was selected as the preferred platform due to its load-carrying capacity, modification potential, and compliance with China VI emission standards. As a leading domestic special-purpose vehicle manufacturer, Chengli Special Purpose Vehicle Co., Ltd. submitted detailed proposals for five mainstream models. II.
