* CO2 indicates CO2 equivalents, which includes in the calculation the contribution of the following greenhouse gases: CO2, methane and N20. **Well-to-wheel calculations are based on a set of assumptions specific to the Canadian market as reported for LNG and diesel pathways in the Canadian GHGenius model (www.ghgenius.ca - opens in new window). Calculations assume equivalent end-use engine efficiency in Class 8 heavy-duty LNG trucks.
