GWP100 weighted specific climate impact (g CO 2 -eq per pkm) as a function of vehicle occupancy. A team from Austria and Norway has found that the climate impact from a long-distance trip (500–1,000 km, or 310–621 miles) can easily vary by a factor of 10 per passenger depending on mode choice, vehicle efficiency, and occupancy.
