<\/a><\/p>\nSource : Presans and ICCT 2014<\/span><\/p>\nThe choice of materials has a direct impact on the mass of the vehicle, and therefore on its energy consumption and CO2<\/sub> emissions. The relationship between mass and emission levels has been widely studied and can be easily estimated. <\/p>\nThe potential for mass reduction remains significant by using more expensive materials (composites), and\/or improved industrial processing (e.g. 3D printing).<\/p>\n
However, the choice of materials must take into account the whole life cycle, as well as other constraints such as cost and regulations. It must also take into account functions related to energy management (e.g. power electronics or battery thermal management) and on-board durability (e.g. air conditioning), which may have no visible impact on CO2<\/sub> emissions as defined by current regulations.<\/p>\n\u00a0<\/p>\n

For a given functionality\/optimization, focus on: <\/p>\n
\n- Cost optimization;<\/li>\n
- Regulatory constraints on materials (e.g. REACH, ELV, RoHS, EURO X standards and their worldwide equivalent)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
An effective approach for the best choice of material combination should take into account:<\/p>\n
