The invention relates to an equipment overall efficiency detecting method. The method comprises the following steps of inputting data: 302) recording starting time; 303) turning on a proximity switch (PX1), acquiring vehicle speed, and judging whether the vehicle speed is zero or not, if so, performing the next step, otherwise, returning to the 303) step; 304) recording stop beginning time; 305) acquiring the vehicle speed through the proximity switch, and judging whether the vehicle speed is zero or not, if so, performing the next step, otherwise, returning to the 304) step; 306) recording stop ending time; 307) judging whether the continuous time is more than a stop parameter or not, if so, performing the next step, otherwise, returning to the 303) step; 308) recording the stop beginning time and the stop ending time in an equipment efficiency database; and 309) judging whether the continuous time is more than a set stop parameter or not, if so, recording stop time, otherwise, returning to the 303) step. The method also comprises the steps of outputting data, i.e. 401) acquiring Q and N, 402) researching the equipment efficiency database, 403) acquiring T1 and T0, and 404) calculating output T, P and I.
