Description
This dataset represents a load capacity of 1.8-4.5t (including 4. 5 tons) and a freight vehicle meeting China IV emission standards providing transportation service for 1 ton 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 light-duty truck is 4 tons, with an average load factor of 60%, values derived from references on freight vehicle 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 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, costs and environmental interventions due to highway construction are allocated based on total ton-kilometer performance. Expenditures for highway infrastructure operation and land use have been allocated based on annual vehicle kilometers traveled.
Activity Description
This dataset represents a 1-ton·km transportation service for light-duty trucks (with a payload capacity of 1.8-4.5 tons, including 4.5 tons) meeting China IV emission standards. It covers the entire transportation life cycle, including vehicle production and maintenance, cargo transport, as well as road pavement construction, operation, maintenance, and disposal.
Process Description
This dataset can be used for freight transport services per ton-kilometer using light-duty trucks with a payload capacity of 1.8–4.5 tonnes (including 4.5 tonnes) meeting China IV emission standards. This represents a transportation service of 1 tonne over 1 kilometer, considering only freight transport. The vehicle runs on diesel fuel.
