The automotive industry is going through a major change in the materials, energy, processes, and machines used to manufacture them. Even there is extensive research on the fuel used for powering the prime movers of automobiles. Every company in the value chain of the automobile industry is striving hard to attain its sustainability goals. Globally all the regions have set their sustainability goals, such as the use of 30% recycled content by 2025, 55% CO2 reduction from vehicles by 2030, 100% electric vehicles by 2040, and net zero emission by 2050.
Raw material suppliers, components manufacturers, and OEM’s in the value chain can play a major role in attaining sustainability. Within this, manufacturing, use phase, and end of life are the areas where major technologies are developed to reduce the environmental harm.
This document highlights various technologies related to automobile components such as chassis, body, engine, powertrain, fuels, and its end-of-life. These technologies have been presented on a multi-dimensional chart, representing the TRL level, type of technology, and its impact on sustainability.
The document further highlights various companies and start-ups developing sustainable technologies across the automobile industry. These technologies are plotted across the sustainability impact to compare the technologies and shortlist the ones which have a major impact on sustainability.
Below are the list of technologies related to various components, fuel and end-of-life of vehicles developed by companies and start-ups.
