Lifecycle Assessments & Circularity

The methodology for evaluating the total environmental impact of a vehicle, from raw material extraction to end-of-life, is critical. This analysis informs the shift towards a circular economy within the automotive sector, focusing on design for disassembly and recyclability.

Key standards include ISO 14040/14044. More information can be found on the International Organization for Standardization website.

Material Innovations

The industry is exploring bio-based polymers, natural fiber composites, and recycled metals. The sourcing of these materials, particularly for electric vehicle batteries, and the development of recycling infrastructures are paramount for reducing the overall footprint.

For the latest research, consult publications from SAE International.
