T-1B1a-TE-8 - Improved light truck engine technology

Background

IPCC WG3 definition: .

Improved vehicle and engine technology can reduce emissions from fossil-fueled vans and trucks. This shift can help reduce emissions in the short term, until zero-emission technologies reach their full potential.

Transition Element

• Type of shift: Utilisation Shift
• Activity: TBD
• Operation: TBD
• ATOC: TBD

Activities

Improves:

• T-1B1a-A-2 - Diesel LGV
• T-1B1a-A-1 - Petrol LGV
• T-1B1a-A-5 - Hydrogen LGV
• T-1B1a-A-3 - Pure electric LGV
• T-1B1a-TE-1 - Shift to gas light trucks

Parameters

Parameter	Unit	Description
light_truck_efficiency_improvement_factor	percent	Engine efficiency improvement factor for LGVs
energy_intensity_freight_light_trucks_diesel	kwh_vehicle_km	Average energy intensity light trucks (diesel)
