5.1 Inventories in 2005<br />

Figure 11 shows the distribution of inventories (no. of non-<strong>road</strong> machines <strong>and</strong> appliances)<br />

for 2005. 60% of the approximately 1.27 million machines <strong>and</strong> appliances<br />

belong to the garden-care/hobbies category, while the second-largest category is agricultural<br />

machinery. Construction machinery only accounts for 4% of the overall inventory.<br />

With respect to engine type, petrol engines represent the largest proportion of the<br />

inventory of non-<strong>road</strong> machines. Here, the number of 2-stroke <strong>and</strong> 4-stroke engines in<br />

operation is more or less equal. There is also a small number of gas-operated machines<br />

(forklifts, etc.) <strong>and</strong> steam-powered ships. For the latter, the steam is exclusively generated<br />

using extra-light heating oil. For the purpose of calculating <strong>fuel</strong> <strong>consumption</strong>, this<br />

is added to the figure for diesel <strong>consumption</strong> unless it is reported separately.<br />
