The article considers the problem of the analytical determination of the fuel economy performance of earth-moving machines by the example of the road grader. By fuel economy is understood the vehicle’s ability to perform an operation with the minimal fuel consumption per hour or per unit volume of the products being manufactured, which is achieved by the optimization of the operation parameters. The fuel costs constitute a significant part of the net cost of a production unit, and for some earth-moving machines reach up to half of the machine-shifts net cost. Consequently, fuel efficiency is one of the basic operational properties of earth-moving machines. The values of the road grader fuel consumption when performing the technological operations have been obtained and analyzed. The fuel balance of the earth-moving machines in the traction mode is presented. The fuel balance of the motor grader when digging soil has been defined and analyzed.
