Fuel and economic indicators are one of the most important performance indicators that establish the quality of modern vehicles and are included in the set of criteria for evaluating the design improvement of vehicles. The rapid pace of development of the construction, agricultural and other industries provides an increase in the percentage of use of modern specialized vehicles, which, in turn, ensures an increase in the use of fuel and energy resources, therefore, increasing the fuel efficiency of vehicles in the implementation of transport is of great practical importance for the efficient use of fuel. work. One of the most effective ways to reduce the operating costs of fuel is to increase its fuel efficiency by optimizing the parameters of the engine operation mode when performing transport work, taking into account the design parameters of a specialized vehicle and transporting cargo. Dump trucks are designed to transport a variety of (mainly bulk) goods and belong to the group of special road transport, which are in great demand in Ukraine. The factors influencing the demand for this special equipment for cargo transportation are as follows: versatility and functionality, since the dump truck is equipped with an automatic unloading function. Unloading of a body is carried out by its mechanical overturning. This method allows you to unload bulk and not only bulk materials to a clearly indicated place and minimize losses for additional operations. The scope of this type of transport is quite wide: in construction, in quarries in the development of minerals, in the agricultural industry and at manufacturing enterprises. Today in Ukraine there is a growing demand for dump trucks. According to the results of statistical data in 2016, the sale of new dump trucks is 46%. At the beginning of 2017, statistics showed an increase in this special equipment by 36% compared to 2016, and in 2018, sales of dump trucks in Ukraine amounted to 21.9%.
