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.
