Methodology

Activity data

Specific mileage data for all different types of road vehicles are generated within TREMOD (Knörr et al., 2021a) 1). The following table provides an overview of annual mileages.

Recalculations

Recalculations were carried out due to a fundamental revision of the TREMOD software.

For changes in the emission factors applied, please refer to the sub-ordinate chapters on tyre and brake wear and road abrasion.
