| Abstract: | Increasing demand from consumers plus European Union (EU) legislation has raised awareness within the automotive production sector of the urgent need to reduce the environmental impacts from the three main stages in vehicle life - car manufacture, car use and end-of-life vehicle processing. This paper reviews how the originator and manufacturer of the smart automobile has worked directly with its main system partners to address environmental issues in these three stages while optimising performance across the parameters of commercial viability. This required the creation of strategic relationships within the supply chain. The paper provides a substantial list of references on this subject. |
