Express racing the clock from air to your doorgets lumped into one factor.
A shipper has asked to report express carbon with the air and ground legs split.
- Air and ground express lumped into one factor
- Ground express vehicle leg never captured
- Time-definite high-emission running omitted
- No data to show when asked for the basis
- Air leg calculated by mode standard
- Ground express vehicle measured by DTG
- Both legs combined and calculated precisely
- Verifiable reporting under ISO 14083
Here's how it fits your industry.
Standard for air, measurement for ground — reporting the true emissions of express.
The supply chain changes when shippers demand the carbon data.
Most transport emissions come from vehicles the shipper never drives. That data only turns from estimate to measurement when the shipper asks for it as a term of business.
Draw the boundary at paid freight
Only transport you paid a freight charge for is the correct boundary for a shipper's Scope 3 report. LCS draws that boundary cleanly — no gaps, no double counting.
Classify by measurement, not estimation
Instead of average factors, we use data measured directly at the vehicle, classified precisely by transport mode and leg. A single ISO 14083 method that passes verification.
Require it of subcontractors
When a shipper requires measured data as a term of contract, the whole supply chain shifts from estimate to measurement. The request is where change begins.
Don't make the ask alone.
As your partner, LCS gives you the grounds to require data from subcontractors — and gives them the tools to respond. We build the bridge to measurement between the shipper who asks and the carrier who answers.
The questions this industry asks most.
How is transport carbon measured for international express?
International express is intermodal — air express chained with ground door-to-door delivery. LCS calculates the air leg by mode standard and measures the ground express vehicle actual fuel and route with DTG at 1-second (1-Hz) resolution, combining both legs under ISO 14083.
Why is calculating international express with a single average factor inaccurate?
Air and ground express have entirely different emission characteristics, and the time-definite service makes them high-emission. Lump them into one factor and both legs drift from reality. The ground leg needs DTG measurement and the air leg a mode standard to be accurate.
How do the paid-freight boundary and ton-km allocation apply to express?
Only paid express you were charged a freight for is the correct boundary for a shipper's Scope 3 reporting. LCS draws the boundary at the paid express legs and allocates on ton-km by the weight and distance of the air and ground legs to reflect it accurately in the shipper reporting.
How do we get international express carriers to report their data?
Express carriers respond when a shipper requires carbon with the air and ground legs split. LCS installs DTG on ground express vehicles so trip records become evidence, and integrates express network data through the LCS API into the shipper reporting.
Split air from ground — express, done accurately.
