There are five Downstream Leased Assets calculation methods to choose from:
Fuel consumption uses your fuel consumption. This is our recommended calculation method as it provides the most accurate results.
Average fuel consumption | Distance driven uses uses the average fuel consumption of your vehicles and the distance driven.
Distance and mass transported uses the distance travelled, the vehicle type (van or truck), and mass transported.
Distance uses the distance driven, vehicle type (e.g. van, truck, motorcycle, bike) and fuel type (e.g. electricity).
Bring Your Own Emissions allows you to upload your own pre-calculated emissions to the Plan A platform. For more information, see here.
Our calculation methods are listed from most accurate to least accurate. We recommend calculation methods based on their accuracy, but ultimately, you should choose a calculation method that fits the data you have access to.
For more information on how to choose a calculation method, read the Choose a Calculation Method article.
⚠️ We currently support calculating emissions from rented or leased combustion-engine and electric vehicles which may not cover your downstream leased assets emissions to the full extent. This is reflected in the calculation methods available.
