Automotive Lightweight Design: Simulation Modeling of Mass-Related Consumption for Electric Vehicles

A thorough assessment of Life-Cycle effects involved by vehicle lightweighting needs a rigorous evaluation of mass-induced consumption, on which energy and sustainability benefits during use stage directly depend. The paper proposes an analytical calculation procedure to estimate the weight-related...
