Whether it is the end of the road for Internal Combustion Engines or not (due to synthetic fuels), the in-use phase of a vehicle’s carbon footprint will soon no longer be the most significant impact. Tackling embodied carbon proactively and cost effectively is how leading manufacturers are staying ahead of the competition.
Beyond Tailpipe Emissions
In the automotive industry, we are facing unprecedented challenges with the transition to emission free mobility. Innovation holds the key to success, but some innovations are too expensive to put into production. How can we try new manufacturing processes to get a competitive edge, without detailed cost and carbon footprint analysis of these new processes? Time could be lost experimenting. In this article, we will explore the 4 levels of product sustainabilty maturity that we have identified in customers and prospective customers of aPriori Technologies, from the Automotive Industry and beyond. It also explores various strategies to reduce the embodied carbon in automobiles.
