Pilot 4 / Value Chain 1: Sustainable Vehicle Production
CARRIS is modernising its fleet with natural gas and electric buses, but it has limited direct control and visibility over the vehicle manufacturing process.
This makes it difficult to collect manufacturing-related indicators, influence environmental practices in vehicle production and systematically assess the recyclable material content of new vehicles.
CSSBoost supports a value chain focused on the acquisition of added-value greener vehicles and the increase of recyclable materials in new vehicles.
The work includes identifying data and data flows, engaging bus manufacturers, defining vehicle-manufacturing indicators, collecting vehicle specification data, deploying TRACK for pilot data collection and display, and integrating CSSBoost tools for further assessment.
