Government Procurement Case and Winning Solution Analysis for Ford New Generation V348 Service Vehicles in Zhoukou I. Case Background and Procurement Requirements In 2025, a municipal sanitation department in Zhoukou launched a government procurement project for Ford New Generation V348 service vehicles, intended for routine inspections, emergency repairs, and rapid response in remote operational areas. The procuring entity required high vehicle reliability, low fuel consumption, and strong adaptability to plateau conditions, and explicitly specified an engine displacement between 2.0T and 2.2T to comply with local road conditions and environmental standards. According to publicly released tender information, the budget was capped at approximately RMB 285,000 per unit, with a total procurement quantity of 6 units and an overall budget of approximately RMB 1.709 million. In this case, Chengli Special Purpose Vehicle Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as “Chengli”) secured the contract by precisely matching engine configurations and leveraging its localized service advantages, ultimately delivering six mobile service vehicles built on the Ford New Generation V348 chassis. Customer feedback indicated stable performance across Zhoukou and surrounding plain regions, low failure rates, and fuel consumption significantly better than the industry average. II. Engine Comparison: Analysis of Performance Differences Among 85 kW / 100 kW / 120 kW Versions The Ford New Generation V348 service vehicle offers three mainstream engine power options: 85 kW (~116 hp), 100 kW (~136 hp), and 120 kW (~163 hp). All three engines are based on Ford’s Puma-series diesel platform but differ notably in calibration and application scenarios. The following comparative analysis is derived from Chengli’s product database (e.g., official announcement parameters for models such as CLW5070GSSD6) and practical procurement experience: Comparison Item 85 kW Version 100 kW Version 120 kW Version Maximum Power 85 kW (116 hp) 100 kW (136 hp) 120 kW (163 hp) Maximum Torque Approx. 300 N·m Approx. 350 N·m Approx. 400 N·m Displacement 2.0T 2.2T 2.2T Fuel Type Diesel Diesel Diesel Emission Standard China VI China VI China VI Recommended Application Scenarios Light-duty service vehicles, short-distance inspections Mixed-road conditions, urban and suburban use Mountainous, plateau, or heavy-load applications Fuel Consumption (MIIT Value) Approx. 8.5 L/100 km Approx. 9.0 L/100 km Approx. 9.5 L/100 km Price Impact (RMB) Base price (– ~RMB 15,000) Standard price + ~RMB 20,000 premium Note: Price impacts are based on Chengli’s 2026 inclusive-tax landed pricing range (referencing pricing logic for blue-plate 5-cubic-meter water sprinklers and similar models in the knowledge base); actual prices depend on specific configurations. 1. 85 kW Version: Prioritizing Lightweight Design and Low Fuel Consumption The 85 kW version is the entry-level configuration, ideal for light-load routine inspection services in plain regions. In cities like Zhoukou—characterized by flat terrain—the 85 kW engine adequately meets standard road driving requirements, achieving fuel consumption below approximately 8.5 L/100 km, thereby significantly reducing operating costs. However, its limited power reserve may prove insufficient when frequent uphill driving or complex road conditions are encountered. 2. 100 kW Version: Balanced Comprehensive Performance
