Dear SeaRoutes Team,

I hope this message finds you well. I am using your API to retrieve the CO2 emissions for all kind of shipments (feature 'Get CO2 for a given shipment'). I was doing some research on the impact of the truckSize parameter because I don't have this data.

What happened is that for a given route and a given fuelType parameter, increasing the truckSize lead to a decrease of the CO2 emitted which is counter intuitive to me. Is there other parameters that could explain such behavior ?

This was the body of the requests I did on postman (truckSize was 5, 10, 15) :

{
"orders": [
{
"type": "parcel",
"weight": 2000
}
],
"transportChainElements": [
{
"details": {
"fuelType": "diesel",
"truckSize" : {{truckSize}}
},
"type": "leg",
"from": "FRMRS",
"to": "DEHAM",
"mode": "road"
}
]
}

Looking forward to your response.
