ISO 23308-2 specifies general test methods and requirements to measure the energy consumption for Operator controlled self-propelled trucks, towing and burden carrier trucks during operation.
ISO 23308-2 specifies the method of energy consumption measurement for the following types of industrial trucks as defined in ISO 5053-1:
ISO 23308-2 on operator-controlled self-propelled trucks, towing, and burden carrier trucks Is applicable for:
The ISO 23308 series deals with the energy efficiency of industrial trucks including batteries and battery chargers. Energy efficiency is important for both environmental reasons as well as economic reasons. ISO 23308-2 contains the test methods to determine the efficiency of self-propelled trucks, towing and burden carrier trucks. The other parts provide a specific test cycle for different truck types. ISO 23308-2 specifies guidelines and operating requirements and sequences for counterbalance lift trucks and to test their energy efficiency.
To determine the overall energy consumption of electric trucks the tests ISO 23308-2 considers:
