Abstract:Utilizing the Automotive and Light Truck Service and Repair Data Base developed in the campanion report, parametric analyses were made of the relationships between maintenance costs, schduled and unschduled, and vehicle parameters; body class, manufacturere, engine size, vehicle weight, model year and facility type.The computer generated parametric graphs are included in the appendicies.
Tehcnological innovations, including radial tires, lightweight bodies, fuel injection and catalytic converters, exhaust gas recirculation, high energy ignition, elctronic control, diesel, stratified charge, stirling cycle, gas turbine and transmission modifications, were anlyzed for their impact on the future trends in maintenance costs. A methodology was developed for the assessment of component durability along with a determination of the failure modes of high volume aftermarket items as a basis for the evaluation of the impact of future technological innovations on maintenance costs.
