The method for determining the fuel consumption of military trucks is considered using the example of MAN TGM 13.320 trucks operated by units of the National Guard of Ukraine. A computational and analytical approach is proposed that takes into account design parameters and specific operating conditions. A comparison of analytical and empirical data showed similar results (23.8 l/100 km and from 22.8 l/100 km to 26 l/100 km), confirming the reliability of the model. The optimal speed of 70 km/h with a minimum fuel consumption of 22.9 l/100 km was determined. It is noted that the results obtained can be used to standardize fuel consumption and improve the logistical support of the National Guard units.
