e-Kent U LE

This bus is not yet placed on the market. Therefore, the results of this EPD shall be interpreted with caution, as the LCI data are not based on a full year of production, which may lead to increased uncertainty. Several inventory parameters, including energy consumption during the use phase and certain production-related energy inputs, have been estimated based on data from comparable bus models. While the results are expected to be broadly representative, the EPD will be updated with verified primary data once sufficient operational data have been collected.
