LCV Plug-in Hybrid Gasoline¤

Light Commercial Vehicle Class Overview¤

The Light Commercial Vehicle class encompasses four-wheeled, two-axle vehicles, primarily designed for goods transportation. These vehicles are notable for their adaptability to a range of cargo needs, demonstrating versatility in the light-duty commercial sector.

Light Commercial Vehicle Performance Metrics¤

  • Operational Distance (dannual): On an annual basis, these vehicles are capable of covering a distance of 38,600 km.
  • Average Cargo Weight (nlpv): They support an average cargo weight of 0.19 tonnes per vehicle, accommodating the transportation needs of various goods.
  • Capacity Factor: A 10% capacity utilization factor is applied to account for frequent stops and loading times, which are characteristic of their operational environment.
  • Reference Efficiency: This results in a reference efficiency of 8.37 tonne-kilometers per hour (tkm/h), underlining their essential role in fulfilling light-duty commercial transportation tasks.

The reference efficiency is calculated as follows:

\[ ref_{efficiency} = \dfrac{d_{annual} \cdot n_{lpv}}{8760 \cdot c_p} \]

Where cp represents the capacity utilization percentage. This formula reflects the annual operational distance, the average cargo weight, and the capacity utilization factor, offering a clear perspective on the efficiency and utility of Light Commercial Vehicles in commercial transportation.

Plug-in Hybrid Gasoline¤

Plug-In Hybrid Gasoline vehicles (PHEVs) feature both a gasoline engine and an electric motor, with a battery that can be recharged by plugging in. These vehicles allow for short all-electric drives and longer hybrid trips. In such a vehicle, the lithium battery included in the vehicle is smaller than in a 100% battery-electric vehicle.
