Included activities starts

It is caused by the combustion of fuel in the engine. The dataset takes as input the infrastructure for trucks and road networks, the materials and activities required to maintain these infrastructures, and the fuel consumed by vehicles during their journeys.

Included activities ends

The activity ends with 1 t·km of transport service, resulting in exhaust and non-exhaust emissions to air, water and soil.

Description

This dataset represents the transport service of providing 1 tonne over a distance of 1 km by a freight truck with a gross mass of 18-26t and China V emission stage. The average cargo load of this heavy-duty type II truck is 18 tonnes; this value is referenced from the literature "Life Cycle Comparative Analysis of Major Domestic Transportation Modes". The average load factor is 60%, a value taken from the "Big Data Carbon Emission Report of China Road Freight Transport". Fuel consumption and the main emissions (nitrogen oxides, nitrous oxide, methane, volatile organic compounds) are calculated based on multiple references combined with the gasoline consumption of this light truck per unit product under unit transport distance. The truck size and load factor determine the GVW, and therefore also determine the fuel consumption as well as the exhaust and non-exhaust emissions. The exhaust emissions caused by fuel combustion depend on the fuel (fuel type and quantity) or on the emission stage. The latter reflects the emission regulations with which the vehicle complies. For the road infrastructure, the expenditures and environmental interventions arising from road construction are allocated according to the total tonne-kilometre performance. The expenditures for road infrastructure operation and land use have been allocated according to the annual vehicle-kilometres.

Activity Description

This data set represents heavy-duty II trucks (load capacity 18-26t), with emission levels of National V for 1t·km transportation services. The dataset represents the entire transportation life cycle, including the production and maintenance of vehicles, the transportation of goods, and the construction, operation, maintenance, and disposal of road pavements.

Process Description

This data set can be used for 1t·km freight services using heavy-duty type II trucks (load capacity 18-26t) and emission class V. This is a transportation service of 1 ton within a distance of 1 kilometer. This service only considers the transportation of goods. The vehicle runs on gasoline.
