定期交換部品は不要で

hybrid construction vehicle
The structure of this sentence is not clear to me.
メンテナンスインターバルは、通常の操作において、ハイブリッド部分の定期交換部品は不要で燃料消費量低減効果により、高い投資回収効果を得られます。
What does 不要 belong with? And how does メンテナンスインターバルは come into the picture?
There are two は in the sentence, plus the 通常の操作において inserted, and at the end they talk about fuel-efficiency, so I find this sentence rather confusing.
Do they mean there are no parts to be regularly replaced in the hybrid unit?
Or
Do they mean there is no predefined fixed maintenance interval, because the hybrid parts are replaced regularly?
Or
Do they mean the maintenance interval is long, because there are no parts to replace?
Could somebody clear this up for me?

hybrid parts do not need to be replaced regularly
Hybrid parts are not subject to regular maintenance intervals because they don't go through regular "wear & tear" cycle with longer mileage benefits (provided the hybrid vehicle is driven normally) but it's not that they last forever either. Here they are emphasizing economical benefits of a hybrid vehicle over the long run because hybrids are usually more expensive than regular cars.

: i get the impression that hybrids still require regular maintenance but the intervals between services are longer than for conventional cars.
