A-1B1b-4 - Shift to gas heavy trucks

Definition

This emission source is defined by the IPCC in TBD.

Transition Elements

This activity has the following mitigation methods modelled as transition elements:

• T-1B1b-1 - Shift to gas heavy trucks
• T-1B1b-5 - Ecodriving of heavy trucks
• T-1B1b-7 - Improved heavy truck engine technology
• T-1B1b-8 - Improved load factor for heavy trucks

Activity Model

This emission source is modelled with Combustion as:
