The Role of Materials in Sustainable Mobility—Examining Long-Term Vehicular Materials Usage

(0 votes)

Thứ ba, 30 Tháng giêng 2007

Although the definition and execution of global sustainability is still debated, a significant element will certainly be the effective management of material resources. The automotive industry—a major consumer across numerous metal and non-metal markets—will play a significant role.
Furthermore, the growth of the world automotive fleet in developing and transitional nations will ensure that this consumption prominence will remain strong. Given that context it is illustrative to understand how current vehicle trends will affect the consumption of major engineering materials.This presentation examines several scenarios of emergent vehicle technology penetration including both material and propulsion changes. The implications of these shifts on primary consumption and secondary supply are discussed, and results from related studies on the evolution of fuel use and fossil resource consumption will be compared.
