Online Launch | Battery Electric Vehicle Sustainability Impact Assessment Model

Having something radically more sustainable needs imagination. The EU Horizon 2020 funded project ALMA is creating the future of mobility through innovative, and sustainable hybrid material solutions. The final aim is to decrease the environmental impacts of electric vehicles by reducing the weight of the structure, saving materials and energy thereby reducing CO2 emissions.

In the ALMA project, TNO developed a web-based sustainability assessment tool named BEVSIM, Battery Electric Vehicle Sustainability Impact Assessment Model. This model evaluates the environmental, circularity, and economic impacts of the materials, sub-systems, and parts of battery electric vehicle (BEV) and Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) vehicle across the entire cradle-to-grave life cycle. BEVSIM can perform the following types of impact assessments: life cycle hotspot analysis, environmental impact assessment, circularity assessment and economic impacts analysis (life cycle costing).

BEVSIM allows the user to measure and compare impacts resulting from design alternatives, lightweight designs, material or sub-system choice, recycling technologies, end-of-life scenarios, and future scenarios resulting from changes in grid mixes.

The presentation will introduce the ALMA project, its objectives, and share insights on the TNO BEVSIM tool.
