报告声称,混凝土道路在其寿命期间比沥青更便宜,更环保。 Report claims concrete roads are cheaper and more environmentally friendly than asphalt over their lifespan.

由新西兰水泥公司委托并由交通部长Simeon Brown推出的Inforcits最近一份报告称,混凝土公路在使用寿命期间便宜17%,维修费用比沥青公路低。 A recent report by Infometrics, commissioned by Concrete New Zealand and launched by Transport Minister Simeon Brown, claims concrete roads are 17% cheaper over their lifespan and have lower maintenance costs compared to asphalt roads. 混凝土道路虽然建造成本更高,但吸收了大气二氧化碳,这有可能减少其碳足迹。 While more expensive to build, concrete roads absorb atmospheric CO2, potentially reducing their carbon footprint. 报告指出,这样做可以为新西兰政府和理事会节省数百万美元。 The report suggests this could save millions for New Zealand's government and councils.
