Start from route distance
Use the road distance of the calculated trip rather than straight-line distance. Fuel demand scales with the kilometres the truck is expected to drive.
Logistics planning tool
Truck Fuel Consumption Calculator
Truck Fuel Consumption Calculator brings route distance, truck fuel-consumption profile and payload into the same LogicCalc workspace as route, timing and transport economics. Review estimated litres of fuel and payload-adjusted consumption before quoting or dispatching.

How it works
How it works
Estimate how much fuel a truck is likely to use on a calculated route from route distance, the active truck consumption profile and payload. The result is a planning estimate in litres, not a measurement from the vehicle.
Use the truck consumption profile
Apply the reference fuel-consumption setting of the active truck profile together with the current payload information used by LogicCalc.
Review the estimated litres
Use the resulting fuel quantity as a planning input for trip economics and CO₂, and update the profile when the truck or load changes.
Typical use cases
What you can use Truck Fuel Consumption Calculator for
Use this calculator when you need a route-level fuel estimate before the trip, not a post-trip fuel reconciliation.
Fuel planning
Estimate litres required for a planned route so fuel can be included in the trip-cost model before dispatch.
Fleet profile comparison
Compare truck profiles or load assumptions on the same route to see how the estimate changes with the active setup.
CO₂ input
Use the fuel estimate as one of the inputs behind the route-level CO₂ estimate instead of relying on distance alone.
Practical example
Practical example
A 600 km route with a reference consumption of 30 L/100 km starts from about 180 L before payload adjustments. LogicCalc can adjust the estimate according to the active truck profile and load.
Frequently asked questions
Truck Fuel Consumption Calculator FAQ
What inputs drive the fuel estimate?
The page uses calculated route distance together with the active truck fuel-consumption profile and payload information.
Is the result actual fuel consumption?
No. It is a planning estimate. Actual litres can differ because the executed trip and real conditions may differ from the calculation inputs.
Why does payload matter?
The page is designed to adjust the estimate using the current load together with the truck profile, so the same route can produce a different estimate for a different payload.
How does this differ from truck cost per kilometre?
Fuel consumption estimates litres used on a trip. Cost per kilometre combines fuel with other variable and fixed operating costs to produce an internal €/km baseline.
What to verify before using the result
Keep the route, truck profile and payload aligned with the actual job; otherwise a precise-looking litre result can still be based on the wrong assumptions.
- Recalculate after a material route change because the estimate is distance-dependent.
- Use the correct active truck consumption profile instead of applying one fleet average to every vehicle.
- Treat the output as an estimate and compare completed trips with real fuel data when refining fleet assumptions.
