【 摘 要 】

Short-term car-sharing rentals are becoming increasingly popular in the urban transport systems world-wide Along with their development, the existing concepts are being also improved e.g. by means of introducing new fleets of vehicles, improving the task-oriented efficiency of vehicles, as well as by maintaining the economic capacity of the system. According to the recent trend, many scientific studies are undertaken with an attempt to analyse various social, environmental or economic aspects related to the practical introduction of these systems. The niche area still to be exploited, however, is the research focusing directly on vehicles, i.e. a fleet of vehicles used in car-sharing systems, and on the issues related to its operation. The authors have focused basically on compiling a list of the most frequently used vehicles in car-sharing systems, defining vehicle classes and determining the type of their propulsion. Then they developed a list of maintenance issues, including daily service. Furthermore, they attempted to provide an inventory of main damages that may occur in car-sharing vehicles depending on the given vehicle mileage. The paper finally aims at raising awareness among the users of these systems regarding the activities related to the operation of a motor vehicle and its regular service.
