Transport, truck, 3.5 to 16t, customisable {AU}| | AusLCI, U
Unit process Australia v00.00.000
This truck is parametrised to allow the truck tare and truck load to be varied which dramtically effect the efficiency per tonne km. Included processes:Transport road and vehicle infrastructure vehicle operation including allowance for backhaul. Remark:Inventory is based on freight task which is the combined impacts of a freight movement based on measurement of the net distance multiplied by the net mass moved. Average load (28t) with backhaul of 1.2 (truck is empty 40% of the time). Inventory is an average of urban and rural transport. Geography: Refers to an average production in the Australia. Technology: Average Time period: Data collected for 2012 Version: 1.0 Record: Data entry by: Tim Grant Telephone: 0061 408104977; E-mail: tim@lifecycles.com.au; Company: LCS; Country: AU Generator: Data entry by: Tim Grant Telephone: 0061 408104977; E-mail: tim@lifecycles.com.au; Company: LCS; Country: AU

| TruckTareABS_Benchmark | 15.0 | — | Value assumed in ABS benchmark per km fuel use listed above - if fuel use per km benchmark is updated this should be change to the assumption in the updated benchmark.
