The project “LCA applied to vehicles” in partnership between the Politecnico di Torino and Centro Ricerche Fiat (C.R.F.) carried out the development of a LCA applied to the old and new Panda vehicle model, taking into account the whole car life-cycle, from-cradle-to-grave.

Abstract

The project “LCA applied to vehicles” in partnership between the Politecnico di Torino and Centro Ricerche Fiat (C.R.F.) carried out the development of a LCA applied to the old and new Panda vehicle model, taking into account the whole car life-cycle, from-cradle-to-grave. The study presented in this paper focuses on the end-of-life of vehicles (ELV), with the goal of valuate its environmental and resource use profile and understand the principal environmental impacts and benefits correlated to the ELV. Based on the obtained Life Cycle Impact Assessment (LCIA) results, it was observed that the manufacturing and the EOL contribution to the overall impact is not negligible for some of the assessed impact categories. Moreover, the performed contribution analysis highlighted the relevance of the selected allocation approach (value-corrected or recycled content approach), in particular depending on the specific materials content.
