Diagnostic and Restoration Algorithms for Military Vehicles with Automatic Transmissions

Abstract

The Ukrainian automotive manufacturer KrAZ has supplied the Ukrainian Armed Forces with KrAZ-6510TE tractor units with automatic gearboxes. KrAZ has supplied the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) with KrAZ-6510TE semi-trailer tractors equipped with automatic transmissions. Until now, vehicles fitted with such gearboxes had not been in service with the AFU. In active military units, due to a lack of experience and negligence in maintenance and in timely oil changes in accordance with the operating instructions, nearly all have broken down, rendering the AFU transport units unable to carry out logistics operations due to automatic transmission failures.

The paper examines methods for diagnosing and restoring the operational condition of KrAZ-6510TE semi-trailer tractors, which can be carried out either on-site or at the manufacturing plant through a series of organizational measures. To ensure the rapid resumption of logistics operations for the AFU, algorithms for diagnostic and restoration have been developed for military vehicles equipped with automatic transmissions.

The availability of AutoKrAZ PJSC's technical service can help reduce downtime for KrAZ vehicles during repair and maintenance work performed while the vehicles are in operation.
