How This Calculator Works
This tool estimates fuel or energy consumption, cost, and CO₂ emissions for various road roller models based on operating hours and fuel type.
Fuel Calculation Formula:
Fuel/Energy Used = Operating Hours × Consumption Rate (liters or kWh per hour)
CO₂ Emissions = Fuel/Energy Used × Emission Factor
Emission Factors:
- Diesel: 2.68 kg CO₂/liter
- Electric: 0 kg CO₂/kWh (assuming renewable source)
About Road Rollers
Road rollers are essential construction machines used to compact soil, gravel, asphalt, and other materials to create smooth, level surfaces for roads and infrastructure projects.
- Small Road Roller 75 HP: Suitable for small-scale projects like footpaths and small parking lots.
- Medium Road Roller 125 HP: Ideal for urban roads and medium-sized paving work.
- Large Road Roller 180 HP: Built for heavy-duty compaction on highways and major construction projects.
- Electric Road Roller: Quiet, zero-emission option for urban and noise-sensitive areas.
Fuel-Saving Tips:
- Avoid unnecessary idling to save fuel.
- Operate at optimal rolling speed for the material and surface.
- Keep tires or drums clean to reduce resistance.
- Ensure regular servicing for maximum efficiency.
