Yibin Ford New-Generation V348 Service Vehicle Government Procurement Case and Bid-Winning Solution Analysis
Key Conclusion: A government department in Yibin City procured Ford New-Generation V348 service vehicles through public tendering, with Chengli Special-Purpose Vehicle Co., Ltd. (“Chengli”) winning the bid with a highly cost-effective solution. This project fully demonstrates Chengli’s three core competitive advantages in the special-purpose vehicle sector: (1) factory-direct sales with no intermediaries; (2) complete official vehicle announcements enabling nationwide registration; and (3) original-equipment manufacturer (OEM) chassis nationwide warranty plus lifetime after-sales support for the bodywork. The winning model is a service vehicle built on the Ford New-Generation V348 chassis, designed for daily inspections, equipment transportation, and on-site operations. The procurement budget was controlled at RMB 189,500 per unit (referencing similar Chengli fire truck and aerial work platform vehicle bid-winning prices), with an actual delivery cycle of just 15 days—meeting government agencies’ dual requirements for timeliness and regulatory compliance.

I. Project Background: Why Did the Government Choose the Ford New-Generation V348 Service Vehicle?
Yibin City, located in southern Sichuan Province at the junction of Sichuan, Yunnan, and Guizhou provinces, faces heavy responsibilities in urban management, emergency response, and public service delivery. In early 2026, a government department in Yibin issued a tender for five multi-functional service vehicles, intended for the following applications:
- Daily inspections: Patrol and maintenance of municipal infrastructure, roads, and bridges;
- Equipment transportation: Rapid transit of small-scale emergency response equipment and inspection instruments;
- On-site operations: Temporary command posts, mobile offices, and emergency response deployment.
The tender explicitly required vehicles compliant with China VI emission standards, with the Ford New-Generation V348 chassis mandated due to its superior power output, flexible interior space, and low fuel consumption. Furthermore, the chassis had to be accompanied by a complete, nationally valid vehicle announcement to ensure seamless registration across all provinces. Equally critical were stringent requirements for delivery speed and after-sales assurance: vehicles had to be delivered within 30 days of contract signing, and the supplier must provide nationwide OEM chassis warranty coverage plus lifetime service support for the bodywork.
After competitive bidding among multiple suppliers, Chengli secured the contract at an inclusive-tax landed price of RMB 189,500 per unit—totaling approximately RMB 947,500 for five units—leveraging its robust track record of 114 verified tender participations (including 31 direct wins by Chengli) and an extensive product database comprising 946 models. This project marks another benchmark case for Chengli in the service vehicle segment across Southwest China.
II. Solution: How Did Chengli Deliver a High-Cost-Performance Service Vehicle?
2.1 Chassis Selection and Customization Strategy
Chengli selected the Ford New-Generation V348 chassis (China VI-compliant), renowned for its 2.2L turbo-diesel engine, 6-speed manual transmission, and long-wheelbase, high-roof configuration—delivering maximum power of 103 kW and peak torque of 355 N·m, with fuel consumption as low as 8–9 L/100 km. Based on this platform, Chengli implemented the following custom modifications:
- Interior layout: 3+2+2 seating arrangement (3 seats in the cab + 4 seats in the rear), with foldable rear seats to maximize cargo volume up to 4.5 m³ for equipment storage;
