How This Calculator Works
This tool estimates fuel consumption, cost, and CO₂ emissions for various bulldozer models based on your input operating hours and fuel type.
Fuel Calculation Formula:
Fuel Used = Operating Hours × Consumption Rate (liters per hour)
CO₂ Emissions = Fuel Used × Emission Factor
Emission Factors:
- Diesel: 2.68 kg CO₂/liter
- Biodiesel: 2.50 kg CO₂/liter
About Bulldozers
Bulldozers are heavy-duty earthmoving machines used in construction, mining, and land clearing. Fuel efficiency depends on the model, engine size, load, and terrain.
- CAT D6: Medium-sized bulldozer, versatile for grading and pushing tasks.
- CAT D8: Large, powerful bulldozer for heavy-duty operations.
- Komatsu D65: Balanced performance for construction and mining.
- Komatsu D85: Heavy-duty bulldozer for large-scale earthmoving.
Tips for Efficient Bulldozer Operation:
- Operate at optimal engine RPM for fuel savings.
- Plan dozing routes to minimize idle time.
- Regularly maintain tracks and blades for smoother operation.
- Use biodiesel blends for reduced emissions.
