Truck maintenance and repair (M&R) costs are an important component of owning and operating trucks, but the topic has not been well studied. Currently there is very limited data on such costs for advanced powertrain systems, especially in heavy duty applications. This study develops an exploratory method to estimate M&R costs for battery electric and fuel cell heavy duty trucks.

Key words: cost, heavy-duty trucks, battery electric vehicles, fuel cell electric vehicles
