How This Calculator Works
This tool estimates fuel consumption, cost, and CO₂ emissions for different motor grader models based on your input hours and fuel price.
Fuel Calculation Formula:
Fuel Used = Operating Hours × Consumption Rate (liters/hour)
CO₂ Emissions = Fuel Used × Emission Factor
Emission Factor:
- Diesel: 2.68 kg CO₂/liter
About Motor Graders
Motor graders are heavy equipment machines used for road construction, maintenance, and earthmoving. Common models include:
- CAT 120K: Popular for road maintenance and small-scale grading.
- CAT 140K: Widely used for heavy-duty grading work.
- CAT 14M: Advanced model with high power output for large projects.
- John Deere 772G: Known for fuel efficiency and reliability.
Tips for Efficient Operation:
- Perform regular maintenance to optimize fuel efficiency.
- Operate at optimal engine speed, avoiding excessive idling.
- Plan work to minimize unnecessary passes.
- Use proper grading techniques to reduce workload.
