Well-to-Wheel (WTW) emission intensity of freight using EN16258 methodology. This factor is based on planned distances and a +95km distance adjustment should be applied to use this. Retrieved from the Global Logistics Emissions Council Framework for Logistics Emissions Accounting and Reporting. (2019). This factor has been calculated incorporating average loads/empty running/repositioning etc. as appropriate to the transport type and as described by the source.
