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.
