Vehicle Cycle Sample Clauses

Vehicle Cycle. The vehicle cycle includes the production, use and end of life of the vehicle components, including its battery. It is generally recognised that the production of electric vehicles has a higher environmental impact compared to the production of conventional vehicles although varying estimates of the energy intensity of battery production create some disparity in estimates of electric vehicle production impacts. The estimates vary because of different approximations of the energy required to assemble the battery from its constituent parts with process-level analyses generally predicting lower energy intensity than top-down studies. Therefore, the details of the battery production and its key technical data (e.g. life time of battery, energy content) must be carefully described in all LCA studies handling this component. For the materials used to produce the vehicle, the main assumptions and data (e.g., types and share of materials, electricity production mix xxx.xxxxxx.xxx 57 2016 IA-HEV ANNUAL REPORT for material production) must also be described in detail. Here it is assumed that the battery capacity of the XXX is in the range of 10-30 kWh, and for PHEV 4-15 kWh, with a vehicle life time of 10 years and annual travel distance of 14,000 km. The “electric driven” annual kilometers with the PHEV is assumed to be 9,000 km. One of the most influencing factors in the LCA of vehicles is the energy consumption in the operation phase. In particular for vehicles with electric drivetrains, the impact of all auxiliary energy usage for heating and cooling must be incorporated properly. In Figure 2, an example of the contribution and range of electricity consumption in a battery electric vehicle by activity is shown in ratio “bad” / “good”; e.g., the impact of charging loss ratio of 2-3 means that the highest observed charging losses can be 2 to 3 times higher than the lowest charging losses, whereas in the graph the average absolute charging losses are estimated. Also the driving behavior (e.g. urban vs. highway driving) is quite relevant for the vehicle’s energy consumption. For plug in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) the share of driving distance on the battery must be specified. The “electricity generated on board” versus “electricity generated off-board” must be carefully distinguished. For battery electric vehicles (BEVs) the possible driving range must be evaluated in real life conditions (see above, including heating and cooling demand). As the driving range ...

  • Hire Period 5.1 Where hire of the Hire Goods is to a Customer who is an individual (whether a consumer or otherwise) or relevant recipient of credit as defined under Article 60L of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (Regulated Activities) Order 2001 e.g. (a). a partnership consisting of two or three persons not all of whom are bodies corporate, or (b) an unincorporated body of persons which does not consist entirely of bodies corporate and is not a partnership(‘Relevant Individual’), the Hire Period shall commence on the date [specified out in writing by the Supplier] (‘Hire Start Date’) and shall end on the earlier of (i) [the date specified in the Commercial Terms Schedule]; or (ii) the last day of the 3 month period commencing on the Hire Start Date (‘Option 1 Hire End Date’). For the avoidance of doubt, as the Hire Period to Relevant Individuals is no longer than 3 months, the hire of any Hire Goods is not covered by the Consumer Credit Act 1974. 5.2 Where the Customer is not a Relevant Individual, the Hire Period shall commence on the Hire Start Date and shall end on the date specified in the Commercial Terms Schedule (‘Option 2 Hire End Date’). 5.3 On the Option 1 Hire End Date or the Option 2 Hire End Date (as applicable), the Customer shall: (i) physically return the Hire Goods into the Supplier’s possession; or (ii) make the Hire Goods available for physical repossession or collection by the Supplier [in a location specified by the Supplier], as applicable. 5.4 For the avoidance of doubt, the Hire Period shall automatically end on the Option 1 Hire End Date or the Option 2 Hire End Date, as applicable and the Customer shall not be required to pay the Rental in respect of any period in which the Hire Goods are in the Customer’s possession or control outside the Hire Period. 5.5 Notwithstanding clause 5.4, If the Customer fails to comply with its obligations in this clause 5, then it shall be liable for any financial loss which this causes the Supplier [and shall indemnify the Supplier in full and on demand in respect of any costs, liabilities, losses and expenses (including legal fees) incurred as a result].

The meal period shall be no less than one-half (½) hour nor more than one (1) hour in duration and shall be without compensation. Should an employee be required to work in excess of five (5) continuous hours from the commencement of their regular shift without being provided a meal period, the employee shall be compensated two (2) times the employee's straight-time hourly rate of pay for the time worked during their normal meal period and be afforded a meal period at the first available opportunity during working hours without compensation.
