Public transport networks remain central to low-carbon mobility, yet 92.5% of buses currently operating in Europe still run on diesel engines. Fleet operators face tight budget constraints and must keep these internal combustion vehicles reliable while actively reducing emissions. Currently, we observe that operators change engine oil based on fixed mileage or time intervals, ignoring real-time conditions like stop-and-go traffic, idling, and varying loads. We believe we need to extend condition-based maintenance practices to municipal transport companies. To achieve this, our V4 region requires a&nbsp;dynamic professional research network that will accelerate digital transformation in fleet management. We will combine traditional physicochemical laboratory diagnostics with continuous On-Board Diagnostics (OBD) telemetry to pioneer hybrid diagnostic solutions.<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Implementation period<\/span><br \/><\/strong><strong>1 November 2026 \u2013 30 April 2028<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Project Coordinator<\/span><br \/><\/strong><strong>Ph.D. Wojciech Go\u0142\u0119biowski<\/strong><\/p>\n                                        <\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t                                <\/div>\n\t\t\t\t                <div class=\"mn-content-block\">\n\t                                                        <div class=\"block-text\">\n\t                                        <h2><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Project activities<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>We will build a&nbsp;professional network of scientific institutions and transport operators to share best practices, develop unified analytical protocols, and improve the regional ecosystem for sustainable fleet operations.<\/p>\n<p>We place a&nbsp;particular focus on involving regional business partners (municipal transport operators) in direct cooperation with our academic teams.
