Description
This dataset represents freight trucks with a payload capacity of 18-26 tonnes (including 26 tonnes) and China V emission standard providing 1 ton-kilometer of transport service. The transport dataset covers the entire life cycle of transportation, including the construction, operation, maintenance, and end-of-life of vehicles and highway infrastructure.
The average cargo load for this heavy-duty truck type II is 24 tonnes, with an average load factor of 60%, values derived from references on freight fuel consumption and the 'China Road Freight Big Data Carbon Emissions 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 according to Chinese standards and literature.
Truck size and load factor determine the Gross Vehicle Weight (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 standard, the latter reflecting the emission regulations to which the vehicle conforms. For highway infrastructure, expenses and environmental interventions due to highway construction are allocated based on total ton-kilometer performance. The expenditure on highway infrastructure operation and land use has been allocated based on annual vehicle kilometers traveled.
Activity Description
This dataset represents transportation services of heavy truck type II (payload 18-26t, including 26t) with China V emission standard, per 1 ton-kilometer. The dataset covers the entire transportation life cycle, including vehicle production and maintenance, cargo transportation, and road pavement construction, operation, maintenance, and disposal.
Process Description
This dataset is applicable for freight transportation services of 1 ton-kilometer using heavy-duty type II trucks (payload 18–26 t, including 26 t) meeting China V emission standards. This service refers to transporting 1 ton of cargo over a distance of 1 kilometer, considering only goods transportation. The vehicle runs on diesel fuel.
