Your vehicle-maker customers are asking aboutthe transport carbon of a single box of parts.
A vehicle OEM's procurement team asked you to consolidate carbon data for parts delivery logistics across the entire supplier network.
- Multi-tier parts transport estimated with average factors
- Each tier of carrier data scattered apart
- Actual emissions of JIT high-frequency delivery left out
- OEM verification forms filled in by hand
- Parts transport measured by DTG at 1-second resolution
- Tier 1, 2, 3 networks consolidated via LCS API
- JIT high-frequency delivery reflected by measurement
- Automated reports in CSRD formats
Here's how it fits your industry.
Measured transport carbon that keeps your place in the vehicle supply chain.
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.
Do automotive parts suppliers have to report transport carbon?
When a vehicle OEM falls under CSRD and supply chain due diligence, it asks Tier 1, 2, and 3 parts suppliers for the Scope 3 transport emissions of delivery logistics. LCS measures parts transport at the vehicle with DTG at 1-second (1-Hz) resolution, reports under ISO 14083, and consolidates data across the multi-tier supplier network.
Why is estimating JIT high-frequency delivery with average factors inaccurate?
Just-in-time means small, frequent shipments where load factor and route change every time. Average factors cannot reflect that variation, so they drift from actual emissions. Only measurement at the vehicle, via DTG, captures the real emissions of high-frequency delivery.
How does the paid-freight boundary apply in parts logistics?
Only parts transport you paid a freight charge for belongs inside a shipper's Scope 3 boundary. LCS separates in-house logistics from paid, outsourced transport to draw that boundary, then calculates with measured data to prevent double counting.
How do we collect transport data from so many parts suppliers?
The network shifts to measurement when the OEM or lead shipper requires it as a term of contract. LCS consolidates each tier's logistics data via LCS API and installs DTG on supplier vehicles, giving them the tools to respond.
Before the OEM request spreads to every supplier.
