SAE Fuel Consumption Test Procedure (Engineering Method)
Also Known As: SAE J1526_202205
SAE J 1526:2022 is a standard that outlines a fuel-consumption test procedure. The purpose of this procedure is to determine the difference in fuel consumption between vehicles with a gross vehicle weight exceeding 10,000 pounds. It is important to note that this test procedure is not intended for evaluating component changes but rather for the evaluation of two or more different vehicles.
The standard allows for both on-road and track testing, but track testing is recommended as it provides greater control over variables such as weather and traffic that could impact the results. Weather constraints are specified in the procedure, and all tests must be supported by collected data and analysis.
SAE J 1526:2022 can be used in conjunction with other SAE recommended practices such as SAE J1264, SAE J1252, SAE J1321, and SAE J2966, as well as other current and future aerodynamic and vehicle performance SAE standards. This suggests that the standard is part of a broader collection of guidelines and practices related to fuel consumption testing and vehicle performance assessment.
