For the English abstract and full text of the article please see the attached PDF-File (English version follows Russian version). ABSTRACT The article, using the example of LLC ATP Kama analyzes the condition of fleet of the motor transport enterprise, as well as the existing system for ensuring its operability. In particular, normative and actual technical readiness of buses is shown taking into account the terms of their operation, average daily mileage, total number of days of stay for maintenance and repair during the year. The method of adjustment of standards was chosen. Optimal periodicity of maintenance of vehicles was determined. An assessment of intensity of failures, costs for the enterprise of preventive maintenance and repair work, and calculation of economic effectiveness of the proposed solutions are suggested. Keywords: motor transport enterprise, economy, cost reduction, optimal periodicity of maintenance, bus operation, economic-probabilistic method, exponential distribution law.
