Abstract
In order to assess the benefits of our two models in terms of GHG emissions, we need to determine the emissions of the current, fossil fuels based, model. Similarly, the energy to wheel of the current model is required if we are to compute the needed electricity or hydrogen to power the equivalent traffic.
