Included activities starts

Caused by the combustion of fuel in the engine. This dataset takes as inputs the infrastructure of trucks and road networks, the materials and activities required to maintain these facilities, and the fuel consumed by vehicles during travel.

Included activities ends

The activity ends with 1 t·km of transport service, emitting both exhaust and non-exhaust emissions into air, water, and soil.

Description

This dataset represents a payload capacity of 1.8-4.5t (including 4. 5t) and a Class V emission truck providing 1 ton of transportation service over a distance of 1 kilometer. The transportation dataset refers to the entire transportation life cycle, including the construction, operation, maintenance, and end-of-life of vehicles and highway infrastructure. The average cargo load of this micro truck is 4 tons, with an average loaded load factor of 60%, values derived from references on truck fuel consumption and the "China Highway Freight Big Data Carbon Emission Report." Fuel consumption and key emissions (nitrogen oxides, nitrous oxide, methane, non-methane hydrocarbons, ammonia, benzene, and lead) are calculated based on limits for fuel consumption of operating diesel trucks as specified in Chinese standards and literature. Truck size and load factor determine the GVW, and hence influence fuel consumption and exhaust and 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, 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 transportation services for light-duty trucks (payload 1.8-4.5 tons, including 4.5 tons) meeting China V emission standards. The dataset covers the entire transportation life cycle, including vehicle production and maintenance, freight transportation, and the construction, operation, maintenance, and disposal of road pavements.

Process Description

This dataset can be used for 1 t·km freight services using light-duty trucks (payload 1.8–4.5 t, including 4.5 t) meeting China V emission standards. This represents a transport service of 1 ton over a distance of 1 kilometer, and the service considers only freight transportation. The vehicle uses diesel fuel.
