Description

This dataset represents the power electronics, for lorry used in the scalable, component-based heavy-duty vehicle inventory of Wolff et al. (2020). That study combines primary and secondary data to compare life-cycle impacts of internal-combustion, hybrid, battery-electric, and fuel-cell trucks. This activity should therefore be interpreted as a foreground vehicle-production subassembly within truck manufacture rather than as a generic standalone market dataset.

Source review: Wolff2020 supplies scalable European heavy-duty tractor component-production inventories from material manufacture through final assembly; vehicle use, fuel supply and end-of-life are excluded. Source software/background are GaBi with ecoinvent3.3/thinkstep6.115(2017), not a replacement for CLIC's profiles. Secondary data, mass models and expert interviews are used;2020 publication does not date every input. This node has reference1kilogram of power electronics, for lorry; retain source component normalization, CLIC supplier/process proxies and later corrections separately.

TRL scale Higher is more mature. 9: routine commercial deployment 8: commercial, but still niche or scaling 7: first-commercial or advanced demonstration 6: engineering-scale demonstration 5: pilot or large prototype 4: bench or lab validated 3: research-stage concept Technology readiness level
1 to 5 scale Lower is better. 1: strong market- or operating-data basis 2: commercially plausible, but still somewhat specific 3: partly representative, with modelling or adaptation bias 4: pilot, proxy-based, scaled-up, or prospective 5: weak representation of the real technology state Technological representativeness
1 to 5 scale Lower is better. 1: geography matches the claimed scope well 2: regionally credible, but broader or less exact 3: generic regional or global proxy 4: weak proxy or clear geographic mismatch 5: geography is effectively unsupported Geographical representativeness
1 to 5 scale Lower is better. 1: current for that technology class 2: slightly dated, but still good 3: dated enough to need caution 4: stale, pilot-era, or prospective relative to current practice 5: clearly not representative of the current state Temporal representativeness

Missing exchange uncertainty generation: Not requested

Representativeness scores use a 1–5 scale when provided. Lower scores indicate a closer fit to the modeled technology, geography, or time period.
