Abstract

This study analyzes the maintenance and repair costs of passenger vehicles in Japan using data from a nationwide web-based survey conducted in February 2023 with 2,800 respondents (900 ICV, 900 HEV, 500 BEV, and 500 PHEV owners). The survey collected detailed information on vehicle usage, maintenance experiences, and associated costs. A zero-inflated negative binomial model was employed to identify cost determinants. Results show that battery electric vehicles (BEVs) have significantly lower maintenance and repair costs compared to internal combustion engine vehicles (ICVs), hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs), and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs).

Costs increase with engine displacement, vehicle age, and annual distance traveled.

These findings provide valuable insights for evaluating vehicle operating costs in transport policy and infrastructure investment decisions.

不同动力系统乘用车的维护和维修成本：日本车主调查案例研究

该研究分析了日本乘用车的维护和维修成本，使用的数据来自于2023年2月对2800名受访者（900名电动汽车、900名混合动力汽车、500名纯电动汽车和500名插电式混合动力汽车车主）进行的全国性网络调查。该调查收集了车辆使用、维修经验和相关费用的详细信息。采用零膨胀负二项式模型来确定成本决定因素。结果表明，与内燃机汽车、混合动力汽车和插电式混合动力汽车相比，纯电动汽车（bev）的维护和维修成本显著降低。成本随着发动机排量、车龄和年行驶距离的增加而增加。这些发现为评估交通政策和基础设施投资决策中的车辆运营成本提供了有价值的见解。
