Non-road fuel consumption and pollutant emissions FOEN 2008 70 8 > Fuel consumption and pollutant emissions by machine category 8.1 Construction machinery 8.1.1 Fuel consumption In contrast to the composition of the construction machinery inventory, with respect to fuel consumption it is tyre and caterpillar loaders and hydraulic excavators that head the list, accounting for more than 60% of consumption in this machine category (Fig. 36, top left). Petrol-powered engines only play a minor role in the construction sector in terms of fuel consumption (Fig. 36, top right). Development of fuel consumption from 1980 to 2020 In terms of fuel consumption, Figure 36 (bottom) shows a sharp increase in the role played by large machines with an engine power greater than 130 kW. In the period from 1980 to 2005, their proportion of overall consumption almost trebled, and it is expected to increase by a further 20% in the course of the next 15 years.

8.1.1 Fuel <strong>consumption</strong><br />

In contrast to the composition of the construction machinery inventory, with respect to<br />

<strong>fuel</strong> <strong>consumption</strong> it is tyre <strong>and</strong> caterpillar loaders <strong>and</strong> hydraulic excavators that head<br />

the list, accounting for more than 60% of <strong>consumption</strong> in this machine category<br />

(Fig. 36, top left). Petrol-powered engines only play a minor role in the construction<br />

sector in terms of <strong>fuel</strong> <strong>consumption</strong> (Fig. 36, top right).<br />

Development of <strong>fuel</strong> <strong>consumption</strong> from 1980 to 2020<br />

In terms of <strong>fuel</strong> <strong>consumption</strong>, Figure 36 (bottom) shows a sharp increase in the role<br />

played by large machines with an engine power greater than 130 kW. In the period<br />

from 1980 to 2005, their proportion of overall <strong>consumption</strong> almost trebled, <strong>and</strong> it is<br />

expected to increase by a further 20% in the course of the next 15 years.
