Description
This dataset represents freight trucks with a payload capacity of 12-18 tonnes (including 18 tonnes) and China V emission standard providing 1 tonne-kilometer of transportation service. The transportation dataset covers the entire life cycle of transport, including the construction, operation, maintenance, and end-of-life of vehicles and highway infrastructure.
The average cargo load of this heavy-duty truck (Class I) is 18 tonnes, with an average load factor of 60%. These values are referenced from fuel consumption data of freight trucks in literature and the 'China Road Freight Big Data Carbon Emission Report'. Fuel consumption and major emissions (nitrogen oxides, nitrous oxide, methane, non-methane hydrocarbons, ammonia, benzene, and lead) are calculated based on fuel consumption limits for operating diesel trucks as specified in Chinese standards and literature.
Truck size and load factor determine the GVW, and thus influence fuel consumption and exhaust as well as non-exhaust emissions. Exhaust emissions from fuel combustion depend on the fuel (fuel type and quantity) or on the emission tier, the latter reflecting the emission regulations the vehicle complies with. For highway infrastructure, expenditures and environmental interventions due to highway construction are allocated based on total ton-kilometer performance. Expenditures for highway infrastructure operation and land use have been allocated based on annual vehicle kilometers traveled.
Activity Description
This dataset represents 1 t·km transport services for heavy-duty Class I trucks (payload 12-18t, including 18t ) meeting China V emission standards. The dataset covers the entire transport life cycle, including vehicle production and maintenance, freight transportation, and road pavement construction, operation, maintenance, and disposal.
Process Description
This dataset can be used for 1 t·km freight services using a Class I heavy-duty truck (payload 12–18 t, including 18 t) with China V emission standard. It represents a transportation service of 1 ton over a distance of 1 kilometer, considering only cargo transportation. The vehicle runs on diesel.
