A Range-Based Vehicle Life Cycle Assessment Incorporating Variability in the Environmental Assessment of Different Vehicle Technologies and Fuels Vrije Universiteit Brussel
How to compare the environmental performance of different vehicle technologies? Vehicles with lower tailpipe emissions are perceived as cleaner. However, does it make sense to look only to tailpipe emissions? Limiting the comparison only on these emissions denies the fact that there are emissions involved during the production of a fuel and gives too much advantage to zero-tailpipe vehicles like battery electric vehicles (BEV) and fuel cell ...
