Maintenance Score
The vehicle catalog maintenance score serves to provide a rough look at how expensive the vehicle type may be to run. With 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
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
This score is based on how simple and cheap the vehicle’s subsystems are to repair, be it from collision, faulty powertrain operation, or regular wear and tear, proportional to its size and load rating.
Sander Adjustability
This score is based on the vehicle’s functionality to reduce or fine-tune sand consumption to a required amount when using the sander, thus minimizing waste.
Wheels Lifetime
This score is based on the vehicle’s proneness to preserve wheels from slipping or sliding, and thus getting 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 traction due to human error.
Powertrain Lifetime
This score is based on the reliability of the vehicle’s 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 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
This score is based on the vehicle’s robustness when it comes to collisions, proportional to its mass. Some vehicles may be rather fragile and delicate, while others can take a hefty hit and still receive no damage whatsoever.
