How BEVSIM’s LCA Models Environmental Impacts of ALMA’s Reference Vs Lightweight BEV
The LCA-based application of BEVSIM allows users to model the materialisation of, for instance, a certain body-in-white design in BEVSIM, receive feedback on the associated environmental impacts and compare it with a selected reference design.
