Automotive lifecycle management refers to the systematic management of the entire process from vehicle design, production, use, maintenance to scrapping and recycling, aiming to optimize performance, reduce costs and extend service life. In the local market, the vehicle lifecycle is typically divided into five stages: the break-in period (within 1 year) requires attention to oil changes and brake system inspections; the peak period (within 3 years) focuses on regular maintenance, with emphasis on the condition of wear parts; the mature period (3-5 years) demands enhanced maintenance of key components such as brake pads and fuel pumps; the decline period (5-10 years) involves addressing issues like rubber part aging and power degradation; the end-of-life period (over 10 years) requires comprehensive inspection of the powertrain and chassis. Through scientific lifecycle management, car owners can save approximately 15-20% on long-term maintenance costs and preserve the vehicle's residual value.
