Task 19 Life Cycle Assessment of Electric vehicles have the potential to substitute for conventional vehicles to contribute to the sustainable development of the transportation sector worldwide, for example, in the reduction of greenhouse gas (GHG) and particle emissions. There is international consensus that the improvement of the sustainability of electric vehicles can only be analyzed on the basis of life cycle assessment (LCA), which includes an examination of the production, operation, and the endoflife treatment of the vehicles. All environmental impacts must also include the whole value chain and if relevant interactions from recycling in the dismantling phase to the production phase, if recycled material is used to produce new vehicles). Based on the LCA activities in the member countries, the main goals of this Task are: Providing policy and decision makers with facts for decisions on EVrelated issues Improving endoflife management by identifying and promoting the best available technologies and practices Improving the design of vehicles and battery systems for optimal recyclability and minimal resource consumption Establishing a research platform for life cycle assessment including endoflife management for EVs to augment the benefits and competitiveness of vehicles with an electric drive train. The main topics to be addressed in the threeyear working period are: 1) LCA methodology 2) Frequently asked questions on the environmental issues of EVs 3) Overview of international LCA studies 4) Parameters influencing the energy demand of EVs 5) LCA aspects of battery and vehicle production 6) Vehicle endoflife management, e.g., recycling, or the reuse of batteries in stationary applications 7) LCA aspects of electricity production, distribution, and vehicle battery charging 8) Summarizing the further R&D demand Task 19 considers the following vehicles and propulsion systems: Propulsion systems: o Battery electric vehicle (BEV) o Hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) o Plugin hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) o Range extender vehicle (REV) o Hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicle (FCV) (including hydrogen production) o Diesel and natural gas vehicles using current and future technology Road vehicles: o Passenger cars o Light utility vehicles o Buses o Twowheelers, e.g. motorcycles, electric bikes o Forklift trucks Operating Agent: Gerfried Jungmeier, JOANNEUM RESEARCH, Austria http://www.ieahev.org/tasks/task19lifecycleassessmentofevs/ 1 st Announcement October 19, 2012 Page: 5
