How This Calculator Works
This tool estimates fuel or energy consumption, cost, and CO₂ emissions for different Skid-Steer Loader 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
- Gasoline: 2.31 kg CO₂/liter
- Electric: 0 kg CO₂/kWh (assuming renewable source)
