Emission factor summary

Emissions generated by the activity within the product supply chain as described in ecoinvent v3.10. This is delivering the service of average transportation of passenger/s across one kilometre (km). This service only considers the transportation of passengers. The dataset takes into account different car classes (EURO 3 EURO 4 and EURO 5). The vehicle is an average of the different car sizes (small medium and large) and fuel types (petrol diesel and natural gas) for each EURO category. The average passenger load factor is considered to in total 97.2 kg. The dry weight of the vehicle is considered to be 1200 kg and its lifetime is 150000 km. A user that wish to model a different average load factor should modify this product or its producing activity. The cut-off classification is allocatable product. The activity type is ordinary transforming activity. The reference product amount is 1.
