Abstract
Vehicles can lead to the environmental impact throughout their whole life cycle—from production, use, to disposal. Therefore, analyzing the whole life’s environmental profile and setting up advanced environmental performance target for each vehicle within vehicle development process is the basis of ‘Eco-design’. In this respect, Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is a useful tool for analyzing the environmental profile. However, it is very time and manpower consuming work to collect and process the huge amounts of data related to material and energy flows during whole life cycle of a vehicle in the LCA process, due the number of components that a vehicle is made from. Therefore, environmental assessment system of vehicle is developed by GM Korea Company to help manage this problem based on automated and standardized data management and processing methods.
