In order to have a practical and easy calculator the calculations are based on a medium sized petrol car. In accordance with the definitions and factors from the GHG Protocol Mobile Combustion Tool this car would emit 0.22 kg CO2 per km. In an average company some employees would drive a smaller where others drive larger cars and a medium sized car would closely approximate the overall picture. This emission factor can not be applied to off road agricultural or delivery vehicles.
