METHOD FOR DETERMINING THE RESIDUAL RESOURCE OF A VEHICLE POWERTRAIN AND ITS USE FOR ESTIMATING VEHICLE VALUE

The method calculates the resource of the powertrain in kilometres from its physical characteristics: for an internal combustion engine, from the ratio of displacement to power, corrected for fuel type, turbocharging, hybridisation and liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) equipment; for an electric vehicle, from the traction battery capacity. Wear, the remaining resource before a major overhaul (less the excess consumption above the normative pace) and the range of an electric vehicle are then determined from age and mileage. Technical result: determination of the technical condition of the powertrain (wear, remaining resource before a major overhaul, excess resource consumption in months and kilometres, range) without measurements on the vehicle, without telemetry and without a database of advertisements; a deterministic and reproducible result for any input data. The resource obtained is additionally used to calculate depreciation coefficients and the final calculated value, separately for personal and commercial use (dependent claims). Additional implementation features: multilingual interface (37 languages, including right-to-left scripts: Arabic, Urdu, Persian, Hebrew); currency and unit conversion (kilometres/miles); generation of a report containing the calculation and a modern sales contract prepared in the user's language.
