Fuel Consumption and Fuel Consumption Index is calculated in Calculations>>ROADSIM and Performance Summary>>Options>>Product Comparison.
The actual fuel consumption of a truck is dependant on several different factors, e.g.:
The driveline of the truck.
The road profile (speed limits, ground, hills etc.)
How the driveline of the truck is suitable for the road profile.
Environmental factors (weather, wind, quality of the road).
The capability of the driver.
Fuel consumption calculations in PERF is only a theoretical calculation. Thus calculations of fuel consumption is no guarantee of actual fuel consumption. The fuel consumption calculation in PERF is intended as a guide to assist with vehicle specification only.
