Learning outcomes
|
The aim of the course is to familiarize students with the issues of road vehicle operation. In particular, the issue of supervision the technical condition of road vehicles and the care of these vehicles. Attention is paid to drivers of road motor vehicles vehicles. Also fuels and energies for powering vehicles.
After completing the course, the student must be oriented in the technical operation of road vehicles (and partly also public transport), with special attention to the protection of the environment in transport.
