Tank-to-Wheel (TTW) emission intensity of freight. Retrieved from the Global Logistics Emissions Council Framework for Logistics Emissions Accounting and Reporting. (2019). This factor is based on planned distances and a -5% distance adjustment should be applied if actual distances are used. This factor has been calculated incorporating average loads/empty running/repositioning etc. as appropriate to the transport type and as described by the source.
