The main purpose of this report is to present up-to-date calculations of non-<strong>road</strong> <strong>pollutant</strong><br />

<strong>emissions</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>fuel</strong> <strong>consumption</strong> in Switzerl<strong>and</strong>.<br />

The calculations were made for eight different categories of machines <strong>and</strong> appliances:<br />

construction machinery, industrial machinery, agricultural machinery, forestry machinery,<br />

garden-care/hobby appliances, marine machinery, railway machinery, military<br />

machinery. The term “non-<strong>road</strong>” as used in this report does not refer to all-terrain motor<br />

cars (“off<strong>road</strong> vehicles”). It solely refers to mobile machines <strong>and</strong> appliances that are<br />

not intended to transport passengers <strong>and</strong> goods by <strong>road</strong>.<br />

The report covers the period from 1980 <strong>and</strong> includes forecasts up to 2020, with 2005<br />

serving as reference year. The objective is for the report to provide an overview of the<br />

situation in the non-<strong>road</strong> segment <strong>and</strong> to serve as a technical basis for assessing potential<br />

measures aimed at reducing air pollution.
