Updated Automotive Lifecycle Assessment Model

Published in

2019

Used to calculate greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions savings through the light-weighting of passenger cars.

First published in 2014, this Excel-based calculator, developed by a group of aluminium and automotive industry experts, is the product of more than ten years of collaboration between European Aluminium and the IAI, with support from Ricardo Energy & Environment.

Refined by the IAI, the calculator now includes new data, an improved layout, case studies, and the option to select the source of the primary aluminium used in its carbon footprint.

A side view of a silver car's frame and body structure with exterior panels removed, revealing an intricate internal framework made from aluminium. The car, displayed on a plain light grey background, has intact wheels that highlight its sleek and aerodynamic design.
