Ecodesign for electric trucks: the RHODaS approach

What is ecodesign?

According to the EEA, ecodesign is the integration of environmental aspects into the product development process, by balancing ecological and economic requirements and striving for products which make the lowest possible environmental impact throughout the product life cycle. Applied to the automotive sector, ecodesign (which includes waste prevention and reuse) can bring net savings to businesses while reducing total annual greenhouse gas emissions.
