Example:
338 kW (460 HP) engine
• The engine characteristics provide Power
information on power and torque, and
indicate the specific fuel consumption
rate.
• This engine's performance curve begins
at 170 kW at 800 rpm and climbs with
increasing speed to 338 kW at 1,900
rpm.
• The torque curve begins at 2,000 Nm at
Torque
800 rpm. It climbs swiftly to 2,100 Nm at
900-1,300 rpm and falls with increasing
speed to 1,700 Nm at 1,900 rpm.
• The fuel consumption curve indicates the Specific
lowest fuel consumption at 195 g/k Wh fuel consumption
within a range of 900-1,300 rpm.

Fuel consumption:
• 2 bar underinflation requires an extra 1-1.5 liters of fuel per 100 km.
• Calculate the annual extra costs if driving 100,000 km per year. Base this calculation on the
current price for diesel fuel.
Safety
• The tires deform excessively when the air pressure is too low.
• This increases rolling resistance and leads to a more intense rise in temperature.
• If the tire pressure is only 0.3 bar low, the tire can heat up to over 100°.
Service life
• The tires will only reach their maximum service life if the prescribed air pressure is properly
maintained.
