Overview
EN 16796-4:2019 is a European standard developed by CEN that specifies test methods for measuring fuel consumption and energy efficiency of variable-reach rough-terrain industrial trucks. These trucks are widely used in construction, agriculture, and other heavy-duty outdoor applications where terrain conditions are challenging. This part of the EN 16796 series focuses specifically on trucks compliant with ISO 5053-1 classifications, excluding slewing trucks with rotational movement beyond 5° from the longitudinal axis.
The standard complements EN 16796-1, the general test method, taking precedence where specific test conditions and requirements differ. It aims to provide manufacturers, operators, and regulators with a reliable, reproducible methodology to assess fuel consumption, promoting energy savings and emissions reduction in industrial trucks used in rough terrain environments.
Key Topics
Scope and Applicability
EN 16796-4 applies to variable-reach rough-terrain trucks used for heavy-material handling. It excludes trucks with significant slewing capability (>5° lateral axis movement).Test Conditions
Tests are conducted under controlled conditions defined in EN 16796-1, including fluid temperatures and disabled auxiliary equipment such as air conditioning. The fuel consumption is measured during operational phases representative of typical use.Measurement Procedure
The fuel consumption measurement consists of four distinct duty phases simulating real-world work cycles:- Travelling: Testing on level ground at maximum speed, without load or attachments.
- Idle mode: Engine running at idle speed, stationary truck with transmission in neutral.
- Pick and carry mode: Truck transports a specified load between two pallet racks 30 meters apart, simulating typical load handling.
- Bucket mode: Truck equipped with a bucket loads and transfers material, carrying a load between 35% and 50% of rated capacity, with specific requirements for material density and minimal dust.
Fuel Usage Measurement
Fuel consumption can be measured directly from the fuel tank or indirectly via a secondary removable fuel tank if direct measurement is impractical. There is also provision for testing trucks with eco-mode technology to assess fuel savings with this function enabled versus disabled.CO Emission Calculation
CO emissions related to fuel consumption are calculated following the method in EN 16796-1 Annex C, with test durations and cycles defined to ensure accuracy and repeatability.Reporting and Documentation
Test reports must conform to EN 16796-1 documentation requirements, including detailed fuel consumption results for each operational phase and specifications of the bucket capacity and material density used during bucket mode tests.
Applications
EN 16796-4:2019 is essential for manufacturers, testing bodies, and fleet operators investing in energy-efficient and environmentally compliant industrial trucks designed for rugged terrain. Practical applications include:
Product Development and Certification
Assisting manufacturers in validating fuel efficiency improvements and eco-mode technologies for rough-terrain variable-reach trucks.Fleet Management
Enabling operators to benchmark fuel consumption during typical work cycles, facilitating better fuel usage predictions, cost savings, and environmental compliance.Regulatory Compliance
Providing a standardized test method accepted throughout Europe to satisfy requirements for energy efficiency and emission reporting.Environmental Impact Assessment
Supporting initiatives to reduce carbon footprints and fuel consumption in heavy-duty industrial vehicle operations across sectors such as construction, forestry, and agriculture.
Related Standards
To fully understand and implement EN 16796-4, familiarity with related standards is essential:
- EN 16796-1:2016 – General test methods for energy efficiency of industrial trucks.
- ISO 5053-1 – Terminology and classification of industrial trucks, defining types including variable-reach rough-terrain trucks.
- EN 1459-1 – Safety requirements and verification for rough-terrain trucks, including variable-reach models.
- EN 16796 series Parts 2, 3, and 5 – Cover other specific truck types like operator-controlled self-propelled trucks, container handling lift trucks, and trucks with elevating operator positions.
By adhering to EN 16796-4:2019, stakeholders can promote responsible fuel consumption, optimize truck performance in challenging environments, and comply with European directives targeting industrial vehicle sustainability. This standard delivers a structured, repeatable approach to fuel efficiency testing that supports industry-wide energy conservation goals.
