NTM presents data for 10 different vehicle concepts/types; see table below. Each vehicle type can be operated by an engine of different emission concept (Euro class). Default values are given for load capacity and for load capacity utilisation. The default values are selected in order to represent a typical transport as carried out today. These values should of course be replaced by more situation-specific data in a detailed analysis. The default values could, however, be used in a screening analysis of a transport chain in order to find out where the largest emissions take place.
