3 Conclusions
The session on LCM in transport and mobility underlined the necessity of including
a life cycle perspective in the development of sustainable solutions in the sector.
Companies and governments use a life cycle approach to develop decarbonisation
strategies and operationalize targets. LCM is applied by industry to foster
climate-friendly innovations from the design to end-of-life phase of materials,
components and final products. Streamline LCA tools help disseminating life cycle
thinking and effective implementation of LCA results by different occupational
groups. By shifting the current focus on tailpipe emission regulations to a life cycle
perspective in automotive legislation, the use of LCM by OEMs could further be
consolidated.
