Transport is a feature of product (or the product itself)
Modes of transport (and type of energy consumed):
- Train (electricity or diesel)
- Lorry (diesel or biofuel)
- Truck (diesel or biofuel)
- Van (diesel or biofuel)
- Car (fuel, diesel, biofuel, natural gas, solar or electricity)
What we need to find to figure out the transportation costs are:
- Usage of fuel/kg/km transported for all transport types
- Database of distances between places. I'm sure the logistics companies have this information, but are they going to give it to us if we ask is a different question. So if you know of any open content sources to get road/railroad/ship/airtravel distances between places it would be most welcome. We could approach this by finding these distances coutry-by-country and then linking countries together using UN/LOCODE bordercrossing points as nodes to tie the countries networks together.
