Contents • Present Viktoria institute • How environmental performanceof multi-modal transports arecalculated • Someof the difficultieswithcalculating environmental performanceof multi-modal transports • Ongoingeffortstodevelop and harmonizecalculation and reporting
Viktoria institute A non-profit IT-research institute located in Gothenburg in Sweden Viktoria institute is part of Swedish ICT, mainly owned by government Focusing on automotive and transport informatics, i.e.: • Electromobility • Cooperative Systems • Open Vehicle • Vehicle Diagnostics • Sustainable Transport Standards and definitions of environmental performance important for guidance and target setting for research, development and innovation.

Environmentalissuesof transport • Resourceconsumption • Consumptionof fossil fuel • Consumptionofother mineral • Land use • Otherresourceconsumption • Climatechange • Emission of CO2, N2O, Methane, etc • Biologicaluptake • Bio diversity • Direct: Land use, toxicsubstances • Indirect: Climatechange • Human health • Direct: Particles, toxicsubstances, stress, accidents • Indirect: Land use, Climatechange
Transport environmental performanceindicators – in linewith ISO 14031 • Resource consumption • Fuel use • Land use • Water footprint • (the latter two much related to bio fuels) • Contribution to climate change: • CO2e emissions • All indicators should be normalized to transport work • Additional indicators may apply • Combustion and motion emissions • Particles • CO • NOx • SOx • (much related to local air quality and regional environmental matters) • Management system: • Existence of PDCA based EMS system • (much related to ability to improve and respond) • Recycling emissions • Metals • Flame retardants • Recycling chemicals • (muchrelatedtoelectric and hybrid vehicles) • Noise and vibrations • No available indicator
Current practice: CO2e performance calculation of general multi-modal transport Transport User 4PL • Emission factorsareused, e.g. Defra*: • In the form of CO2e / ton*km per typeof transport • Distance km is calculated on averagedistance • Weight ton is based on average data • Allocationsarebased on averageefficiencyof transport • Distance,weight and allocationarecalculateddifferently by different organizations and companies. • Effortstoachieve standards and harmonized business agreements areongoing.

Summary • There are some agreement how to calculate environmental performance of transports • Much development work is going on • There are several ISO-standards in the toolbox • More standards may be needed, both sector specific and general
