How do I count emissions when my truck travels on a Ro-Ro train?

Split the trip into legs. The road legs to and from the rail terminals use truck diesel. The rail leg uses a rail factor applied to the full weight carried, truck plus cargo, unless the railway gives you its own figure. Diesel saved on the rail leg is the gain.

Legs to add

• Road: factory to loading terminal.
• Rail: terminal to terminal, truck on a flat wagon.
• Road: unloading terminal to customer.

Evidence

Keep the Ro-Ro booking with distance and weight, and fuel slips for the road legs.

What Senseible does here

Senseible reads bills, fuel invoices and production records into dated, fingerprinted records, so the figure you send a buyer can be traced to its documents.

• Intermodal container emissions
