Duty cycles covered by Ricardo-AEA report

Duty cycle Typical vehicles Typical mpg Typical annual mileage covered

Urban Delivery Rigid trucks, mostly below 18t

10–17 mpg 15–40,000 miles

Regional Delivery

Mixture of rigid trucks from 7.5t to over 18t and articulated up to 33t

8–14 mpg 18–75,000 miles

Long Haul Mostly 33-44t articulated truck but also some rigid vehicles

7–12 mpg 50-150,000 miles (higher if triple-shifting)

Municipal Delivery

Rigid trucks, mostly refuse collection vehicles (18-26t GVW) and street sweepers

2–5 mpg 5-18,000 miles

Construction Primarily rigid tipper lorries (small – up to 7.5 t) and large (over 26t); articulated tippers; flat-beds; skip loaders; concrete mixers

6–13 mpg Rigids:14-30,000 milesArtics:30-45,000 miles

DfT Low Carbon Hgv Task Force Potential Workstreams

• Assessing the availability and supply of biomethane for transport– Green Gas Certificates to enable transport carbon reporting– National refuelling infrastructure

• Using fiscal incentives to encourage greater uptake of biomethane in hgvs– Long term policy for road fuel gas taxation– Extension of low carbon vehicle/infrastructure grants for hgvs

from OLEV– Enhanced capital allowances for low carbon vehicles

• Making changes to weights and dimensions to encourage use of low-carbon vehicles– Payload equality for hybrids, gas and electric vehicles– Additional length of front swing radius to allow aerodynamic aids

Next Steps

• LCRS and rail– Develop reliable carbon figure for rail in 2013– Shortsea shipping longer term target

• Mode Shift Map– Gather more data for UK; Launch with wider logistics

industry when ready– Await EU response on grant funding for European map –

February 2013

• Mode Shift Annual Report– Survey results, metrics, case studies– Launch at Multimodal 2013

• Develop ports map to create multimodal map– Regular rail services / terminals; Shortsea routes; Inland

waterways
