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 a freight truck with a gross mass of 1.8–4.5 t and a China III emission standard providing 1 tonne of transport service over a distance of 1 kilometre. The average cargo load of this light truck is 2 tonnes, a value taken from the reference “Life Cycle Comparative Analysis of Major Domestic Transport Modes”; the average load factor is 60%, a value taken from the “Big Data Carbon Emission Report on China Road Freight Transport”. Fuel consumption and the main emissions (nitrogen oxides, nitrous oxide, methane and volatile organic compounds) are calculated on the basis of multiple references in combination with the gasoline consumption of this light truck per unit product over a unit transport distance. The truck size and load factor determine the GVW and therefore the fuel consumption and exhaust and non-exhaust emissions. Exhaust emissions caused by fuel combustion depend on the fuel (fuel type and quantity) or on the emission standard. The latter reflects the emission regulations that the vehicle complies with. For the road infrastructure, the expenditures and environmental interventions arising from road construction are allocated on the basis of total tonne-kilometre performance. The expenditures for road infrastructure operation and land use are allocated on the basis of annual vehicle kilometres.

Activity Description

This dataset represents light trucks (load capacity 1.8-4.5t) providing 1t·km transportation services with National III emission standards. The dataset covers the entire transportation life cycle, including vehicle production and maintenance, freight transport, and the construction, operation, maintenance, and disposal of road pavements.

Process Description

This data set can be used for 1t·km freight services using light trucks (load capacity 1.8-4.5t) with emission level of National III. 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.
