Description
This dataset represents a payload range of 1.8-4.5t (including 4. 5t) and National VI emission standard trucks to provide transportation of 1 ton over a distance of 1 kilometer. The transportation dataset refers to the entire transportation life cycle, including construction, operation, maintenance, and end-of-life of vehicles and highway infrastructure.
The average cargo load for this micro truck is 4 tons, with an average load factor of 60%, both values referenced from freight truck fuel consumption data in the literature and the 'China Highway 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 operating diesel trucks specified in Chinese standards and literature.
Truck size and load factor determine the 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 emissions regulation 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 transport services for light-duty trucks (payload 1.8–4.5 t, including 4.5 t) meeting China VI emission standards. The dataset covers the entire transportation life cycle, including vehicle production and maintenance, freight transport, as well as road pavement construction, operation, maintenance, and disposal.
Process Description
This dataset can be used for 1 t·km freight services provided by light-duty trucks (payload 1.8–4.5 t, including 4.5 t) meeting China VI emission standards. This represents a transportation service of 1 ton over a distance of 1 kilometer, considering only cargo transport. The vehicle operates on diesel fuel.
