In the wood processing industry, choosing between diesel and gasoline-powered chippers isn't just about fuel type—it’s about your production volume, operating environment, and long-term sustainability goals. Let’s break it down with real data from our clients across Europe, North America, and Southeast Asia.
Many buyers assume gasoline engines are cheaper upfront—but that’s only half the story. According to field tests on TYFS series machines:
| Power Source | Avg. Fuel Consumption (L/h) | Cost per Hour (USD @ $1.2/L) | Maintenance Frequency |
|---|---|---|---|
| Diesel (TYFS-800) | 3.2 L/h | $3.84/h | Every 500 hrs |
| Gasoline (TYFS-600) | 4.5 L/h | $5.40/h | Every 200 hrs |
That’s a 30% higher hourly cost for gasoline—especially critical if you run 10+ hours/day. Plus, diesel engines have longer service intervals, reducing downtime by up to 40% in high-use scenarios.
Our customers often ask: “Which model fits my operation?” Here’s how we match them:
You’re not just buying a machine—you’re investing in compliance. The TYFS series meets EU Stage IV emissions standards, with NOx reductions of up to 65% compared to older models. One client in Spain reduced their carbon footprint by 18% within 3 months simply by switching to diesel-powered units.
And yes—it’s durable too. All models feature hardened steel blades and sealed bearings designed for harsh environments. In a test conducted in Morocco, even after 300 hours of sand-laden wood processing, wear was below 5%, far below industry average.
“Switching from gasoline to diesel saved us $2,100/month in fuel alone,” says Maria Lopez, operations manager at a Spanish forestry cooperative. “Plus, fewer breakdowns mean more time focused on quality—not repairs.”
This is what we call sustainable ROI—not just cutting costs, but building resilience.
So, which one suits YOU? Is your priority low maintenance, low emissions, or flexibility in remote locations? We’ve helped over 120 companies make this decision—and we can help you too.
Let every investment count—whether it’s for efficiency, compliance, or green transformation.
