Non-Inlcusion of Electric Rail for Freight was created by Ashutosh8998
Hi all, 
I want to inquire why electricity as a fuel is not provided for sheet 'freight emissions' by mode rail. It should have been included as many nations have a rail network, which is almost 99% electrified and a major long-distance freight transportation mode. 
Is there any other way the emissions can be calculated for it as it is in 'LDV summ' and 'HDV summ' sheets.

Unfortunately electric rail is very uncommon in North America which is why it haven't been included on the freight emission sheet.

The LDV and HDV summary sheets are for battery electric vehicles., which is not the same as electric rail

We will consider it for the next update of the model.

Regards
Don O'Connor
