Default Re: Fleet performance data

Hi,

I stumbled across this more recent fleet performance report that includes "End-of-life HEV testing (rerun fuel economy & conduct battery testing @ 160k miles per vehicle)". This report also includes maintenance data. The maintenance and repair summary:

"•Civic & Insight -6 continuously variable transmission (CVT) failures in 4 vehicles @ 97k, 99k, 89k & 77k miles. Again @ 157k & 146k miles
•Insight battery control module & traction battery replaced @ 72k miles
•Insight & Civic -7 software upgrades & 3 catalytic converters replaced
•Gen I Prius -rack & pinion replacements 1st Prius @ 106k, & 2ndPrius @ 25k & 32k miles
•Other HEVs –normal maintenance @ lower mileages"

Every advocate can find something to crow about (and watch out for.)
