A diagnostic system for a vehicle includes a vehicle system configured to operate the vehicle in a normal operating mode and a boosted mode. In the boosted mode, the vehicle system increases at least one of a maximum motor torque, a maximum engine torque, and a maximum battery power available to the vehicle. A wear estimation module is configured to collect wear data associated with a component of the vehicle while being operated in the boosted mode, estimate, based on the collected wear data, wear of the component caused by being operated in the boosted mode, and generate a prediction of a remaining lifetime of the component based on the estimated wear of the component.

Described is an electric telehandler (1) comprising: one or more traction apparatuses (3, 51, 6) equipped with a drive wheel (3); movement means comprising a plurality of hydraulic actuators, a hydraulic distributor (2) to actuate the actuators and a pump (21) for supplying the distributor (2); and an electric motor (4, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49) connected directly to the traction apparatus and/or to the pump (21) of the movement means.

A vehicle may include an engine, a traction battery, an electric motor, an electric cooling system, and a controller. The electric motor selectively converts torque from the engine to electric power and converts electric power from the traction battery to drive torque for the vehicle. The electric cooling system, responsive to a temperature of the traction battery exceeding a first threshold, cools the traction battery using the electric power. The controller, responsive to the temperature exceeding a second threshold less than the first threshold and accessory loads exceeding a third threshold, operates one or both of the engine and traction battery to maintain the temperature below the first threshold.
