Description
This dataset represents freight trucks with a payload capacity exceeding 26 tons and meeting China VI emission standards, providing transportation services for 1 ton of cargo over a distance of 1 kilometer. The transportation 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 Class III heavy-duty truck is 46 tons, with an average payload utilization factor of 60%, values derived from references on truck fuel consumption 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 diesel trucks in operation as specified in 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, which reflects 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. The expenditures for highway infrastructure operation and land use have been allocated based on annual vehicle kilometers traveled.
Activity Description
This dataset represents 1 ton-kilometer of transportation service provided by a heavy-duty truck (payload > 26 tons) meeting China VI emission standards. The dataset covers the entire transportation life cycle, including vehicle production and maintenance, freight transportation, as well as road pavement construction, operation, maintenance, and end-of-life disposal.
Process Description
This dataset can be used for 1 t·km freight services using a heavy-duty Type III truck (payload >26 t) with China VI emission standard. This service provides transportation of 1 ton of cargo over a distance of 1 kilometer, considering only freight transport. The vehicle runs on diesel.
