Adjusting the service frequency of hybrid vehicles based on the use of diagnostics tools

Abstract

Currently, traditional internal combustion engine vehicles are being replaced by hybrid vehicles, which are more advanced and energy efficient than the former. According to the current technical regulation on the safety of wheeled vehicles, a hybrid is a vehicle that combines two types of power units in its design: an internal combustion engine and an electric motor. The main advantage of these vehicles is the combination of efficiency and environmental friendliness. The trend towards an increase in the production of cars with hybrid power plants is due to a fundamental increase in the requirements of international standards for environmental safety and efficiency of cars. In the coming years, the number of brands of cars with hybrid power plants offered to the consumer by European, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, as well as domestic automakers would significantly increase in Russia. The lack of scientifically based approaches to the organization of maintenance and repair of vehicles with hybrid power plants leads to a decrease in the efficiency of the technical operation of this type of vehicle. Hence, there is a need to organize the maintenance of vehicles with hybrid power plants based on the optimization of maintenance modes. The choice of topic is justified by the possibility of improving the efficiency of operation of vehicles with hybrid power plants.
