Long-haul EMS 6×4 rigid lorries: which uses the least fuel?

Every model here was simulated by its manufacturer on the EU long haul ems mission, with the payload the regulation sets, and declared to the regulator. Figures are compared only within one reporting year and one payload. A model is ranked when at least ten declared vehicles stand behind its figure.

Showing the 30 lowest declared figures of 56 ranked here. Every model has its own page, reached from its make or its range.

What the difference is worth

The lowest and highest ranked here are 14.4 l/100 km apart (36.6%). At 120,000 km a year and an assumed £1.40 a litre, that is about 17,280 litres a year, or £24,192.

Where it stops mattering: 7 models here are within 10% of the lowest figure, inside the tolerance of declared figures, so the ranking between them is not a reason to choose one over another. The specification ordered matters too: declared figures for the Volvo FMX, 345 kW, 6x4 rigid lorry, 12.8 L (2021–2023) alone span 29.8 l/100 km across its configurations.

The price is an assumption for illustration, not a price we track; use your own. Declared figures compare vehicles with each other on a standard route; they are not what one lorry will use on your roads.

Showing the 30 lowest declared figures of 56 ranked here. Every model has its own page, reached from its make or its range.

What the difference is worth

The lowest and highest ranked here are 13.3 l/100 km apart (45.2%). At 120,000 km a year and an assumed £1.40 a litre, that is about 15,960 litres a year, or £22,344.

Where it stops mattering: 7 models here are within 10% of the lowest figure, inside the tolerance of declared figures, so the ranking between them is not a reason to choose one over another. The specification ordered matters too: declared figures for the Volvo FMX, 345 kW, 6x4 rigid lorry, 12.8 L (2021–2023) alone span 26.8 l/100 km across its configurations.

The price is an assumption for illustration, not a price we track; use your own. Declared figures compare vehicles with each other on a standard route; they are not what one lorry will use on your roads.

Showing the 30 lowest declared figures of 56 ranked here. Every model has its own page, reached from its make or its range.

What the difference is worth

The lowest and highest ranked here are 11.6 l/100 km apart (26.8%). At 120,000 km a year and an assumed £1.40 a litre, that is about 13,920 litres a year, or £19,488.

Where it stops mattering: 35 models here are within 10% of the lowest figure, inside the tolerance of declared figures, so the ranking between them is not a reason to choose one over another. The specification ordered matters too: declared figures for the Volvo FMX, 375 kW, 6x4 rigid lorry alone span 23.5 l/100 km across its configurations.

The price is an assumption for illustration, not a price we track; use your own. Declared figures compare vehicles with each other on a standard route; they are not what one lorry will use on your roads.

Showing the 30 lowest declared figures of 56 ranked here. Every model has its own page, reached from its make or its range.

What the difference is worth

The lowest and highest ranked here are 11.5 l/100 km apart (35.4%). At 120,000 km a year and an assumed £1.40 a litre, that is about 13,800 litres a year, or £19,320.

Where it stops mattering: 29 models here are within 10% of the lowest figure, inside the tolerance of declared figures, so the ranking between them is not a reason to choose one over another. The specification ordered matters too: declared figures for the Volvo FMX, 375 kW, 6x4 rigid lorry alone span 22.5 l/100 km across its configurations.

The price is an assumption for illustration, not a price we track; use your own. Declared figures compare vehicles with each other on a standard route; they are not what one lorry will use on your roads.

Showing the 30 lowest declared figures of 35 ranked here. Every model has its own page, reached from its make or its range.

What the difference is worth

The lowest and highest ranked here are 10.8 l/100 km apart (24.6%). At 120,000 km a year and an assumed £1.40 a litre, that is about 12,960 litres a year, or £18,144.

Where it stops mattering: 22 models here are within 10% of the lowest figure, inside the tolerance of declared figures, so the ranking between them is not a reason to choose one over another. The specification ordered matters too: declared figures for the Volvo FM, 315 kW, 6x4 rigid lorry alone span 16.7 l/100 km across its configurations.

The price is an assumption for illustration, not a price we track; use your own. Declared figures compare vehicles with each other on a standard route; they are not what one lorry will use on your roads.

Showing the 30 lowest declared figures of 35 ranked here. Every model has its own page, reached from its make or its range.

What the difference is worth

The lowest and highest ranked here are 10.8 l/100 km apart (32.9%). At 120,000 km a year and an assumed £1.40 a litre, that is about 12,960 litres a year, or £18,144.

Where it stops mattering: 20 models here are within 10% of the lowest figure, inside the tolerance of declared figures, so the ranking between them is not a reason to choose one over another. The specification ordered matters too: declared figures for the Volvo FM, 315 kW, 6x4 rigid lorry alone span 15.8 l/100 km across its configurations.

The price is an assumption for illustration, not a price we track; use your own. Declared figures compare vehicles with each other on a standard route; they are not what one lorry will use on your roads.
