1. 1. Assessing design strategies for improved life cycle environmental performance of vehicles

   Författare :Sofia Poulikidou; Anna Björklund; Per Wennhage; Gregory Keoleian; KTH; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Vehicle design; Design strategies; Lightweight design; Electric vehicles; Design for Environment DfE ; DfE tools; Life cycle assessment LCA ; Simplified LCA; Composite materials; Planering och beslutsanalys; Planning and Decision Analysis;

   Sammanfattning : Vehicle manufactures have adopted different strategies for improving the environmental performance of their fleet including lightweight design and alternative drivetrains such as EVs. Both strategies reduce energy during use but may result in a relative increase of the impact during other stages. LÄS MER

3. 2. Integration of Design for Environment in the vehicle manufacturing industry in Sweden : Focus on practices and tools

5. 4. Engineering Designers' Requirements on Design for Environment Methods and Tools

   Författare :Mattias Lindahl; Margareta Norell Bergendahl; Tim McAlonone; KTH; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Environmental technology; Design for Environment; Methods and Tools; Requirements; Miljöteknik; Environmental engineering; Miljöteknik;

   Sammanfattning : Given a special focus on Design for Environment (DfE) methods and tools, the objectives of this thesis are to, “Identify basic design-related requirements that a method or tool should fulfill in order to become actively used by engineering designers”, and to “Investigate how those basic requirements could be used to make DfE methods and tools more actively used in industry among engineering designers”. The research has shown that designers in general have three main purposes for utilizing methods and tools, of which the last two could be seen as subsets of the first one. LÄS MER

7. 5. Green Concurrent Engineering: a model for DFE management programs

   Författare :Mårten Karlsson; Internationella miljöinstitutet; []
   Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; pollution control; Environmental technology; Product development; Environmental management; Design for environment; Miljöteknik; kontroll av utsläpp; Production technology; Produktionsteknik;

   Sammanfattning : Environmental considerations in product development are increasingly dealt with in the framework of certified environmental management systems such as ISO 14001. This allows industry to set objectives and assign responsibility for continuous improvement for DFE activities and environmental performance of products in DFE management programs. LÄS MER
