Green NCAP launches unique Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) Tool for Consumers
December 2022
Green NCAP launches a new Consumer Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) Tool, allowing website visitors to compare the LCA values of cars in relation to their country, energy mix and usage. Targeting consumers who are considering the sustainability of their vehicle in the context of where they live and their long-term usage, as well as academics, industry, and legislators, this tool represents a real step forward towards global environmental awareness about climate-changing emissions and the lifecycle energy required to produce green and sustainable cars.
