<strong>Non</strong>-<strong>road</strong> <strong>fuel</strong> <strong>consumption</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>pollutant</strong> <strong>emissions</strong> FOEN 2008 82<br />

8.4 Forestry machinery<br />

8.4.1 Fuel <strong>consumption</strong><br />

In 2005, the <strong>fuel</strong> <strong>consumption</strong> of forestry machinery amounted to 9720 tonnes, of<br />

which petrol accounted for 25% (Fig. 42, top). The most important machine type in<br />

terms of <strong>fuel</strong> <strong>consumption</strong> is haulers (i.e. tractors used in the forestry sector), with<br />

4030 tonnes p.a. of diesel, followed by chainsaws with 1960 tonnes p.a. of petrol.<br />

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

The development of <strong>fuel</strong> <strong>consumption</strong> (Fig. 42, bottom) shows a clear shift from small<br />

engines to those with a higher engine power. A 10% increase in <strong>consumption</strong> versus<br />

the 2005 level is anticipated by 2020.
