Dear all,

We are working with LCA where we are comparing electric bus vs. diesel bus.

The case is specific for the company, therefore we have total kilometers per bus, the total weight of the bus (without passengers) and average fuel consumption. We have passenger numbers, but the number is not realistic, therefore, we would prefer not to link it with fuel combustion (p.km is not used for modeling electric bus also).

In the SimPro Ecoinvent database, we have Diesel production but not Diesel combustion emissions specific for the bus. The one option in SimaPro is choosing the process ´Transport by regular bus´, in that case, the fuel combustion is included, but that process is linked to passenger kilometers, which we are trying to avoid. Does anyone have an idea of how to model the use phase of diesel bus in the other way? Thank you
