Vehicle Environmental Footprint

Task: Reduce the environmental and health footprint of vehicles on the basis of Life Cycle Analysis

1 - Materials & Weight Reduction

• Architecture (mechanism): Re-design, Innovative Solutions
• Materials and processes: Metals (steels, aluminium, magnesium…), Plastics, Composites
• Multi-material assemblies

2 - Health Interactions

At manufacture and at the end of vehicle life:
• Processes (surface treatment, painting…)
• Recycling

During Vehicle Use:
• Quality of air in the passenger compartment: Treatment of emissions, Materials emissions, renewal of internal air (air supply, evacuation)
• Local pollution
• Odours
• Insulation and noise
• Electromagnetic waves / EMC

3 - Eco-Design

• Analysis and assessment of the impact of the Life Cycle
• Resource management
- Materials: biologically sourced, reinforced (natural fibres…), recycled
- Energy balance sheet: extraction, consumption, conversion, end of life
• Management of industrial processes
• Waste management
- Taking end of life into consideration from the design phase onwards
- Recovery and recycling

4 - Methodologies & Tools

• Decision-making tools, Product Life Management (All environmental footprint parameters)
• Systems and materials definition
- Measurement and classification
- Databases
• Design Tools:Modelling, Optimization, Simulation
