Abstract:
This research shows the quantitative determination of the environmental impact using an undercarriage. The necessity of circular value creation is demonstrated using application strategies from the 9R model. Two strategies and the combination of these are applied to the undercarriage and the Carbon Footprint is approximated during raw material production, manufacturing, and usage. The results show potential design variables to reduce CO2 emissions. The quantitative determination forms the basis for further research to calculate the current CO2 equivalent during multidisciplinary optimization.
