Abstract

A motor vehicle data processing apparatus includes an operating data acquisition device for acquiring at least one operating data value, in particular engine speed, engine load, and the like, while the vehicle is in operation. The motor vehicle data processing apparatus also includes an operating data processing device for processing the acquired operating data and storing corresponding processed operating data in an associated storage device, and an action determination device for examining the stored processed operating data and determining the need to execute a predetermined action as a function of an examination result according to a predefined criteria.
