Methodology notes
Source and application
Wolff (2020) supplies scalable European heavy-duty tractor production inventories using secondary data, mass models and expert interviews. Its material-through-final-assembly boundary excludes use, fuel supply and vehicle end of life. GaBi, ecoinvent 3.3 and thinkstep 6.115 (2017) describe the source settings, not a migration of CLIC profiles. Publication in 2020 does not date every input. Bundling by carculator_truck 0.5.2/carculator_utils 1.3.7 describes later model provenance; Sacchi/Bauer/Cox (2021) describes the vehicle model rather than each component recipe.
System boundary
The recorded suspension material provision and manufacturing/service inputs per kilogram declared reference. Vehicle operation, fuel supply and whole-vehicle retirement are separate.
Technology description
Reinforcing steel, cast iron, synthetic rubber and steel working represent the suspension material/process bill. Component load rating, geometry and service performance are not established by this mass reference.
Intended application
Per-mass suspension provision in an explicit lorry assembly model, retaining current supplier and process adaptations.
Use limitations
Component scope
Source mass normalization and CLIC material/processing suppliers do not establish every alloy, manufacturing yield or complete present industrial design.

Evidence and amendments
Recorded scoped checks did not establish a formal Wolff erratum; publisher web/PDF update dates do not themselves establish inventory corrections. Hawkins (2013) has a corrigendum affecting EV motor/inverter/charger and battery packaging. Its applicability must be traced to the specific reused component rather than propagated to every glider or rail process. Source and compiler heat units, gas reference conditions, supplier proxies and uncertainty retain their documented qualifications.

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 suspension, for lorry; retain source component normalization, CLIC supplier/process proxies and later corrections separately. Partial source comparison. Dry engine SI mass1140kg differs from printed Table4 total1206kg; native/paper definitions are retained, not blindly renormalized. Cab heat total labelledkWh adds MJ subtotals and printed TableA2 saysMJ; other heatkWh/MJ labels require ancestor verification before any3.6rescaling. Tyre acetylene differs by10between SI and printed table. Natural-gas mass/volume conversion requires reference conditions. Source power-electronics sheet has detailed materials/processing but no declared total normalization; do not sum process solvents into a finished-device mass without justification. No formal Wolff erratum found in scoped checks. Publisher HTML/PDF update dates alone do not establish inventory corrections. Hawkins2013 corrigendum changes EV motor/inverter/charger and additional battery packaging; applicability must be traced to each reused component, not applied across every glider or rail process.

Wolff (2020) supplies scalable European heavy-duty tractor production inventories using secondary data, mass models and expert interviews. Its material-through-final-assembly boundary excludes use, fuel supply and vehicle end of life. GaBi, ecoinvent 3.3 and thinkstep 6.115 (2017) describe the source settings, not a migration of CLIC profiles. Publication in 2020 does not date every input. Bundling by carculator_truck 0.5.2/carculator_utils 1.3.7 describes later model provenance; Sacchi/Bauer/Cox (2021) describes the vehicle model rather than each component recipe.

Version metadata System boundary Component-production reference, derived from the truck study's cradle-to-gate inventory. Linked supplier manufacturing, direct emissions and disposal/replacement overlap require separate reconciliation. The recorded suspension material provision and manufacturing/service inputs per kilogram declared reference. Vehicle operation, fuel supply and whole-vehicle retirement are separate.

Version metadata Technology description 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 suspension, for lorry; retain source component normalization, CLIC supplier/process proxies and later corrections separately. Reinforcing steel, cast iron, synthetic rubber and steel working represent the suspension material/process bill. Component load rating, geometry and service performance are not established by this mass reference.

Version metadata Limitations on use Partial source comparison. Dry engine SI mass1140kg differs from printed Table4 total1206kg; native/paper definitions are retained, not blindly renormalized. Cab heat total labelledkWh adds MJ subtotals and printed TableA2 saysMJ; other heatkWh/MJ labels require ancestor verification before any3.6rescaling. Tyre acetylene differs by10between SI and printed table. Natural-gas mass/volume conversion requires reference conditions. Source power-electronics sheet has detailed materials/processing but no declared total normalization; do not sum process solvents into a finished-device mass without justification. No formal Wolff erratum found in scoped checks. Publisher HTML/PDF update dates alone do not establish inventory corrections. Hawkins2013 corrigendum changes EV motor/inverter/charger and additional battery packaging; applicability must be traced to each reused component, not applied across every glider or rail process. Component scope
Source mass normalization and CLIC material/processing suppliers do not establish every alloy, manufacturing yield or complete present industrial design.

Evidence and amendments
Recorded scoped checks did not establish a formal Wolff erratum; publisher web/PDF update dates do not themselves establish inventory corrections. Hawkins (2013) has a corrigendum affecting EV motor/inverter/charger and battery packaging. Its applicability must be traced to the specific reused component rather than propagated to every glider or rail process. Source and compiler heat units, gas reference conditions, supplier proxies and uncertainty retain their documented qualifications.
Version metadata Description This dataset represents the suspension, 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 suspension, for lorry; retain source component normalization, CLIC supplier/process proxies and later corrections separately. 		Manufacturing model for 1 kg of lorry suspension. Remove the superseded model parameter and source blocks from the current process description. The current model reference, process information and scientific qualifications are retained.
Version metadata Intended application Not set Per-mass suspension provision in an explicit lorry assembly model, retaining current supplier and process adaptations. Apply reviewed discovery metadata and change explanations from the curated release.
