Start / Calculations / Performance Calculations / Going

The going page determines the power required to maintain a steady speed, and the related fuel consumption, based on these parameters:

Vehicle weight

Drag coefficient

Frontal area

Drivetrain loss

Parasitic loss

Tire pressure is used to determine rolling resistance.

Brake specific (BSFC) is used to determine fuel consumption.

Altitude

Road grade

Head wind speed
