Vehicle from Latin: vehiculum is a mobile machine that transports people or cargo. By the basic definition of Machine, we mean a device that helps us to do work easily, efficiently and faster. Cars, Vehicles, Automobiles are complex machines with different parts. They have the engines (could be the Internal combustion engine, Electric motor, or a combination of both which is the Hybrid), rotating parts, Vibrating parts etc. For this car (complex machine) to carry out work efficiently, these parts have to be maintained.
Have we ever wondered why the tokunbo cars we import, even though have a very high mileage still runs very smoothly? Even better than a lot of new cars bought here and haven't attained half the mileage on these tokunbo cars? In advanced countries, car owners have imbibed the maintenance culture and it has been integrated into their daily lives. In order for us to minimize break downs of our cars, we too must take the maintenance of our vehicles seriously and should be timely too.
For cars that have the internal combustion engine, where chemical energy is converted to Mechanical energy to drive the car, filters are used to ensure that clean air and fuel mixtures enter the combustion chambers, its rotating parts should be well lubricated to reduce wear and tear caused by friction and the vibrating parts are cushioned with rubber.
In the case of the Electric cars, maintenance is very low, filters are used also to ensure clean air goes into the car and the rotating parts are well lubricated to reduce friction and vibrating parts are cushioned . Water should not be allowed near and electric car as this may cause great damage to the car.
For the Hybrid cars, its a combination of both the internal combustion engine and the electric car
I'll appreciate your feedback...
