LCA modelling of electric drivetrain components

Research Project, 2019 – 2021

The overarching goal of the project is to provide knowledge for material resource strategies for vehicle transport. More specifically, the project aims it compile data for LCA of electric drivetrains, allowing for LCA-modelling on drivetrain system level, and to support technology development for resource efficiency exploration of potential future material trends in vehicles, through use of a stock-and-flow model of material content in vehicle fleets. The results are interesting in themselves, to underpin material resource strategies for vehicles, and are useful for constructing end-of-life scenarios for LCA modelling. Participants in the project are Anders Nordelöf, Mudit
Chordia, Maria Ljunggren Söderman and Anne-Marie Tillman.
