Analysing all-terrain vehicles efficiency under conditions of snow-covered area

[摘要] The paper studies the tasks of determining the efficiency of all-terrain vehicles under the conditions of snow-covered area. To assess the efficiency it is suggested to apply the ratio of the product of the transported cargo speed and maximum travel speed to the fuel consumption. The all-terrain vehicles were experimentally researched in December, January, February and March. The influence of chassis parameters on the machine efficiency was analysed. The study outcomes enable to assess the areas of all-terrain vehicles efficiency.
