IMPROVEMENT OF STELLANTIS CONCERN LOW-TONNAGE COMMERCIAL VANS CLUTCH PEDAL

The article examines the issue of extending the life cycle of the operation of lowtonnage vans of the Stellantis concern. These vehicles are widely used by farms in Ukraine to transport spare parts for agricultural machinery, fertilizers, dry fodder mixtures, fuel and lubricants, etc. As a result of long-term operation, a failure of the pedal connection with the clutch master cylinder rod was discovered. This happens due to lack of lubrication and mechanical wear, destruction of the plastic bushing. The author's team proposed a certain constructive improvement. It consists in replacing individual parts with more reliable ones. The proposed technical solution will significantly increase the reliability of the use of the node and save money on repairs.

本文针对Stellantis集团（Stellantis）旗下低吨位厢式货车的运营生命周期延长问题展开探讨。该类车辆在乌克兰农场中被广泛应用，用于运输农用机械备件、化肥、干饲料混合物、燃料及润滑油等物资。经长期运营后，该车型出现了踏板与离合器总泵推杆连接失效的问题，其成因包括润滑不足、机械磨损以及塑料衬套损坏。研究团队提出了一项结构性改进方案，通过更换可靠性更高的单体部件来解决该问题。该技术方案可显著提升该连接节点的使用可靠性，并降低维修成本。
