Under the larger umbrella of European climate target for 2030 – “Fitfor55”, European auto OEMs are now demanding the use of greener energy and sustainable materials in production. To meet these demands, Tajco has shifted to using 100% green energy and alternative sustainable raw materials in its production processes.
However, as more and more OEMs like to offer the selection of environmental friendly green products to their customers, it has become necessary for OEMs to measure and publish the environmental hotspots of their products. One way to do this is to use Lifecycle assessment (LCA) methodologies and if possible integrate the LCA process into the early product development stage. This approach helps OEMs to accelerate the development timeline together with sustainability aspects, ensuring a faster time to market and a competitive edge in meeting growing environmental regulations and consumer expectations.
Through this lecture Tajco like to introduce its custom-built process for the OEMs for material, process & supply chain optimization keeping the reduction of carbon footprint of Tier 1 & Tier 2 products and explain the role of LCA in this process.
At the same time Dassault Systèmes will share insights on its cloud-based LCA solution which enables the integration of LCA with CAD and other PLM functionalities thereby supporting digital continuity. The solution combines LCA with the virtual twin, which facilitates detailed assessments of environmental impacts as early as the ideation stage of the product development
