Report on environmental assessment for each cluster

To identify the environmental benefit of “less than wagon load”, it is essential to have a reference. A first assessment of each site will be done. Three indicators will be established: energy consumption (kWh), greenhouse gas emissions (CO2), and air pollution (fines particles, nitrous oxide). For this last indicators, the localisation of the pollution will be analysed (it will be relevant for the energy switch road/fuel – rail/electricity). An additional indicator, not environmental, but very relevant to include: the injuries of the truck traffic. All the indicators will be measured in a relative way per ton and per tonkilometer.
