文摘
- •
Energy and emission from vehicle manufacturing and infrastructure cannot be ignored.
- •
Each mode can operate efficiently with low emissions in different distance ranges.
- •
Compared to air and automobile, intercity bus is the most fuel efficient mode.
- •
Air is less fuel efficient than ground modes in short trips for airport activities.
- •
High fuel efficiency at air cruise period makes it more efficient for long trips.
