Instructions

Diagonal lines represent total resistance (grade % plus rolling resistance %). Charts based on 0 % rolling resistance, standard
tires and gearing, unless otherwise stated. In the retardation chart, the diagonal lines represent the “total resistance” as well (here
in downhill grades, it is the total extra pushing force), which is the grade in % minus the rolling resistance in %.
A. Find the diagonal line with the appropriate total resistance on the right edge of the chart.
B. Follow the diagonal line downward until it intersects the actual line for machine weight, NMW or GMW.
C. Draw a new line horizontally to the left from the point of intersection until the new line intersects the rimpull or retardation curve.
D. Read down for vehicle speed.
RIMPULL 1) Rimpull in kp lbf - 2) Speed in km/h mph - 3) Machine weight in kg lbs - 4) Grade in % + rolling resistance in %.

Fuel Consumption

A25G / A30G
Load factor guide
High : very long cycle times with frequent, adverse, grades. Continues use of poorly maintained haul roads with high rolling resistance.
Very small amount of idling.
Medium : average loading zone conditions and frequently maintained haul roads. Normal hauling times and several adverse grades.
Some areas of high rolling resistance.
Low : large amount of idling. Short to medium hauls on well maintained, level, haul roads. Minimum total rolling resistance. Most
common type of operation amongst Volvo articulated haulers.

Instructions

Diagonal lines represent total resistance (grade % plus rolling resistance %). Charts based on 0 % rolling resistance, standard
tires and gearing, unless otherwise stated. In the retardation chart, the diagonal lines represent the “total resistance” as well (here
in downhill grades, it is the total extra pushing force), which is the grade in % minus the rolling resistance in %.
A. Find the diagonal line with the appropriate total resistance on the right edge of the chart.
B. Follow the diagonal line downward until it intersects the actual line for machine weight, NMW or GMW.
C. Draw a new line horizontally to the left from the point of intersection until the new line intersects the rimpull or retardation curve.
D. Read down for vehicle speed.
RIMPULL 1) Rimpull in kp lbf - 2) Speed in km/h mph - 3) Machine weight in kg lbs - 4) Grade in % + rolling resistance in %.

Fuel Consumption

A35G - A40G - A45G - A45G FS

Load factor guide
High : very long cycle times with frequent, adverse, grades. Continues use of poorly maintained haul roads with high rolling resistance.
Very small amount of idling.
Medium : average loading zone conditions and frequently maintained haul roads. Normal hauling times and several adverse grades.
Some areas of high rolling resistance.
Low : large amount of idling. Short to medium hauls on well maintained, level, haul roads. Minimum total rolling resistance. Most
common type of operation amongst Volvo articulated haulers.

Instructions

Diagonal lines represent total resistance (grade % plus rolling resistance %). Charts based on 0 % rolling resistance, standard
tires and gearing, unless otherwise stated. In the retardation chart, the diagonal lines represent the “total resistance” as well (here
in downhill grades, it is the total extra pushing force), which is the grade in % minus the rolling resistance in %.
A. Find the diagonal line with the appropriate total resistance on the right edge of the chart.
B. Follow the diagonal line downward until it intersects the actual line for machine weight, NMW or GMW.
C. Draw a new line horizontally to the left from the point of intersection until the new line intersects the rimpull or retardation curve.
D. Read down for vehicle speed.
RIMPULL 1) Rimpull in kp lbf - 2) Speed in km/h mph - 3) Machine weight in kg lbs - 4) Grade in % + rolling resistance in %.

Fuel Consumption

A60H
Load factor guide
High : very long cycle times with frequent, adverse, grades. Continues use of poorly maintained haul roads with high rolling resistance.
Very small amount of idling.
Medium : average loading zone conditions and frequently maintained haul roads. Normal hauling times and several adverse grades.
Some areas of high rolling resistance.
Low : large amount of idling. Short to medium hauls on well maintained, level, haul roads. Minimum total rolling resistance. Most
common type of operation amongst Volvo articulated haulers.
