Car Fuel Cell CH4¤
Car Definition¤
The Car category is defined as a vehicle featuring four wheels and two axles, with a primary function of transporting passengers within private transportation settings.
Car Performance and Usage Metrics1¤
The performance and usage metrics for cars are as follows:
- Annual Distance (dannual): Cars on average cover a distance of 14,602 km per year.
- Average Occupancy Rate (nlpv): The average occupancy rate for cars is determined to be 1.57 passengers per vehicle.
- Utilization Factor: The utilization factor for cars is established at 5%, correlating to an average daily use of 1 hour and 15 minutes.
- Reference Capacity: This leads to a reference capacity of 52.34 passenger-kilometers per hour (pkm/h), calculated using the formula:
\[
ref_{size} = \dfrac{d_{annual} \cdot n_{lpv}}{8760 \cdot c_p}
\]
Where cp denotes the capacity utilization percentage.
Methane Fuel Cell¤
Methane fuel cell vehicles leverage the chemical energy of methane, CH4, to generate electricity through a fuel cell. These vehicles operate on the principle of converting methane directly into electrical energy, which then powers the vehicle’s electric motor.
