ISO/NP 24162

Refuse collection vehicles — Test and calculation method for energy consumption of refuse collection vehicles

General information

10.20     Feb 12, 2026

ISO

ISO/TC 297

International Standard

Scope

This document specifies a uniform, reproducible testing process for various drive units, chassis, constructions and lifting devices for the refuse collection vehicles described in EN 1501 (all parts, excluding EN 1501-4), with which a comparison for energy consumption can be performed.
This document specification defines criteria for a reference area with regard to a synthesized tour (test circuit). This therefore serves to determine a representative test circuit and/or data for a software calculation tool, e.g. VECTO .
This document also specifies a theoretical method for calculating the energy consumption of a rear loaded RCV bodywork during a single tour.
NOTE VECTO (Vehicle Energy Consumption calculation TOol) is a simulation tool that has been developed by the European Commission for determining CO2 emissions and fuel consumption from heavy duty vehicles with a gross vehicle mass above 3 500 kg.
