LCV Methane FC¤
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:
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.
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.
