Municipal utility 6×4 rigid lorries: which uses the least fuel?
Every model here was simulated by its manufacturer on the EU municipal utility 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 57 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 19.5 l/100 km apart (24.2%). At 120,000 km a year and an assumed £1.40 a litre, that is about 23,400 litres a year, or £32,760.
Where it stops mattering: 19 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 32.5 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.
39 models not ranked: fewer than ten declared vehicles behind the figure

Showing the 30 lowest declared figures of 57 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 19 l/100 km apart (23.6%). At 120,000 km a year and an assumed £1.40 a litre, that is about 22,800 litres a year, or £31,920.
Where it stops mattering: 33 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 26.5 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.
41 models not ranked: fewer than ten declared vehicles behind the figure
