Study goals
Propose a transition plan for an independent repair shop to begin and scale up service for hybrid and electric vehicles (HEV) with technical safety and economic viability, structured around three axes — processes, training, and structure — with supporting economic estimates.
Relevance / originality
It addresses the gap in adapting independent workshops to electromobility by proposing a practical roadmap for creating HEV service, preserving the combustion line, integrated with safety standards (NR-10, NR-35, ABNT NBR ISO 6469) and dynamic capatilities /organizational learning.
Methodology / approach
Technical report of a single, qualitative, and applied case study: qualitative analysis (documentary and participant observation) to obtain data; propositional plan in three axes (processes, training, structure); five-year financial projection and investment evaluation (payback, IRR, NPV).
Main results
Projections indicated viability with an investment of R$100.000 — payback ≈2.05 years, IRR ≈64.3% p.a., NPV ≈R$213.000 (15% p.a.) — provided that standardized processes, specific training and structural adjustments are implemented in accordance with standards, ensuring consistency and safety in HEV service.
Theoretical / methodological contributions
It presents an implementation model for HEV services, structured around three axes, with procedures and checklists, integrated with the financial projection (5 years) and indicators (payback, IRR, NPV). It offers a replicable structure for studies and practices in service SMEs.
Social / management contributions
Practical guide for SMEs to start providing HEV services safely and efficiently: NR-10 and ABNT NBR ISO 6469 compliance, adaptations to physical structure, training, and standardized processes; support for risk management and reverse logistics, reducing incidents and operational liabilities.
