Production emissions in technology planning - challenges and approaches using the example of electric drives

This publication investigates how production emissions are integrated into technology planning processes, using electric drive systems as a practical case study. Authored by experts at RWTH Aachen University's Chair of Production Engineering of E-Mobility Components, the publication explores key challenges-such as emissions accounting, lifecycle impact assessment, and eco-design strategies-and introduces methodological approaches to reduce carbon footprints in manufacturing. It offers valuable insights for engineers, sustainability managers, and researchers focused on low-emission production in the e-mobility sector.
