This recommended practice provides minimum requirements for testing components or systems of the type which can be switched from one truck to another with relative ease; i.e., aerodynamic devices, clutch fans, radial tires, and the like. The test utilizes in-service fleet vehicles, operated over representative routes. The relative fuel effectiveness of the component or system under test is determined as a percentage improvement factor. This factor is calculated using the relative fuel usage of like vehicles operating with and without the specific component or system under evaluation. Accuracy capability employing this test technique is either ±1% or ±2%, depending upon the method of fuel measurement. (See paragraph 6.4.)

HISTORICAL

J1526_198706

The test utilizes two medium to heavy duty in-service vehicles operated over interstate type highways. The relative fuel economy of the component, system, or vehicle under test is expressed as a percentage improvement or as a percentage of fuel saved. This factor is calculated using relative fuel consumption while operating with and without the test component, system, or vehicle under evaluation. Accuracy obtained from the use of this test procedure can be ±% when properly executed. This procedure is not intended to replace SAE J1264 OCT86, Joint RCCC/SAE Fuel Consumption Test Procedure or SAE J1321 OCT86, Joint TMC/SAE Fuel Consumption Test Procedure Type II, but will enhance a fleet's or manufacturer's ability to do a wide variety of fuel consumption tests on highway. The following basic rules must be applied to this procedure to ensure valid test results: a A single test is inconclusive. A single test result may be an indicator.
