<!--T:1-->
The {{pll|Vehicle Catalog Overview|vehicle catalog}} maintenance score serves to provide a rough look at how expensive the {{pll|Rail Vehicle Types|vehicle}} type may be to run. With {{pll|Driving Efficiency|proper usage}}, all vehicles can be highly profitable, so this score is more intended to point out potential financial pitfalls from misuse, rather than the expected norm.

==== Energy Economy ==== <!--T:8-->

<!--T:2-->
This score is based on how forgiving the vehicle is, in terms of fuel or electricity expenses, when used without adequate load. All vehicles can be profitable with appropriate load, but in different conditions some will cost more to run than others.

==== Repair Economy ==== <!--T:9-->

<!--T:3-->
This score is based on how simple and cheap the vehicle’s subsystems are to {{pll|Servicing Overview|repair}}, be it from {{pll|Body Damage|collision}}, {{pll|Powertrains Overview|faulty powertrain operation}}, or regular {{pll|Damage Overview|wear and tear}}, proportional to its size and load rating.

==== Sander Adjustability ==== <!--T:10-->

<!--T:4-->
This score is based on the vehicle’s functionality to reduce or fine-tune sand consumption to a required amount when using the {{pll|Sander|sander}}, thus minimizing waste.

==== Wheels Lifetime ==== <!--T:11-->

<!--T:5-->
This score is based on the vehicle’s proneness to preserve wheels from {{pll|Wheelslip|slipping}} or {{pll|Wheelslide|sliding}}, and thus getting {{pll|Wheels & Brakes Damage|damaged}}. While this property is mainly driven by the vehicle’s wheel arrangement, mass and powertrain intricacies, the score also takes into account the likelihood of losing {{pll|Traction Overview|traction}} due to human error.

==== Powertrain Lifetime ==== <!--T:12-->

<!--T:6-->
This score is based on the reliability of the vehicle’s {{pll|Powertrains Overview|powertrain system}}. While certain types of powertrains are more prone to wear than others, the score also takes into account the likelihood of accumulating powertrain {{pll|Damage Overview|damage}} due to minor human error. This score does not take into account catastrophic failures, but wear and damage within the safe operation margins.

==== Collision Toughness ==== <!--T:13-->

<!--T:7-->
This score is based on the vehicle’s robustness when it comes to {{pll|Body Damage|collisions}}, proportional to its mass. Some vehicles may be rather fragile and delicate, while others can take a hefty hit and still receive no {{pll|Damage Overview|damage}} whatsoever.
