The sub-programme FFI Circularity is intended to minimise the climate and environmental impact of manufacturing, service and decommissioning vehicles. This can be achieved through initiatives that encompass the entire lifecycle of the vehicle, from concept, through design to production, service, reuse and eventual decommissioning, including components.
Challenges that have been identified within the sub-programme
Climate and energy
Reducing greenhouse gas emissions and a more efficient usage of energy and other resources is a challenge. Phasing out hazardous substances associated with the production and decommissioning of vehicles is also important.
Changes to product and system requirements
Tomorrow’s mobility and circular systems put demands on the working life, traceability and adaptability of products. New products such as batteries and fuel cells create new production, maintenance and recycling challenges.
Regulations and standards
New regulations and standards must be developed in order to create circular systems for the production and maintenance of vehicles
Focus areas
- The product: Design for circularity and reduced environmental impact
- The human: Skills, cognitive and physical support, the work environment as well as health and safety
- The production system: Climate-neutral production, service and decommissioning
