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 part 4), with which a comparison for energy consumption can be performed. This specification defines criteria for a reference area with regard to a synthesised tour (test circuit). This therefore serves to determine a representative test circuit and/or data for a software calculation tool, e.g. VECTO.
