Ford of Europe’s Product Sustainability Index Society Environment Economy Wulf-Peter Schmidt Ford of Europe, Vehicle Environmental Engineering Supervisor CO2/Sustainability & Tech. Spec. Vehicle Recycling
Sustainability of Cars – The Challenges • CO2 / Climate change • Other Pollution (e.g. Summer Smog) • Oil dependency • Overcrowded streets / mobility capability per car • Safety • Affordability • Etc. 2 All dimensions of sustainability
Sustainable Product Design (SPD) beyond Eco-Design • Having in mind all sustainability challenges mentioned above (not only environment / CO2). • Reasonably limiting all of these aspects to those directly impacted by product development m’gmt. • Respecting company specific culture, data availability, resources, knowledge, etc. as well as other requirements. • Design that offers the needed functionalities and aesthetics making sustainability attractive for all consumer groups. Sustainable Design Design that not only follows function and (long-term) aesthetical aspects but meets the need of the present without compromising 3 the ability of future generations to meet their needs.
What is PSI measuring – how and why? Indicator Metric Why Important? Life Cycle Global Climate Change gases along the Carbon intensity as Warming Potential product life cycle* (LCA) main strategic issue Life Cycle Air Summer Smog gases (NOx, VOC) Potential trade-off: Quality Potential along the life cycle* (LCA) non-CO2 emissions Sustainable recycled & natural materials per Resource Scarcity Materials vehicle polymer weight Restricted Allergy-tested label etc. Substance risk Substances (15 point rating) management Drive-by-Noise Drive-by exterior Noise = dB(A) Society concern Safety Different Safety criteria Main direct impact Mobility Capability Mobility capacity (seats, luggage) Crowded cities to vehicle size (future: disabled) Life Cycle Price + 3 years fuel, maintenance Consumer focus/ Ownership Costs costs, taxation - residual value Competitiveness *(from raw material extraction through production to use (150000 km) and recovery) 4 Note: legal compliance issues are the baseline, i.e. not a topic of PSI. Also aspects decided before PD (e.g. service aspects) cannot be covered by PSI
Ford S-MAX and Galaxy: pilots for PSI • 2002 Senior management decision for PSI piloting (all new FoE products starting with S-MAX/Galaxy) • 2002 Target discussions • 2002-2005 Tracking PSI by Vehicle Integration • 2006 ISO14040 Verification Study, external review (ISO 14040) 5

Roles & Responsibilities (PSI implementation) Process Lead Responsibility • PSI Methodology • Corporate Citizenship / Product Planning • Data Input • Individual Data owner • PSI Calculation • Vehicle Integration (VI) • PSI Target Setting, Reporting, • Chief Program Eng. / Project Compliance Mg’ment / Vehicle Integration • Integration / Awareness / Training • PD Factory • Supplier Communication • Purchasing • Cross Carline Co-ordination • Product Planning • Governance • FoE Operating Committee After finalization of PSI methodology 7 all done by Product Development itself
Implementing Life Cycle Thinking in PD • Calculation of PSI based on PSI-POCP [kg Ethen-eq] simplified LCA / LCC via 46 PSI-GWP [t CO2-eq] spreadsheet file 44 • Based on available data of PD 42 vehicle attribute target / status charts 40 plus few additional data 38 (in total approx 20 entered data) 36 • PSI included in normal Multi-Panel 34 Ford Galaxy 2.0 l TDCi with DPF Chart managing all vehicle attributes 32 throughout the PD process KO (target range) PA PR CC Verification • PSI run by PD engineers who are no specialists in the area of LCA or sustainability • Optimal fit to Ford design approach etc. -> each company has to find its own approach Lean management, no incremental 8 resources, fit to Ford culture
Product Sustainability Index Conclusions • Making different corporate function accountable for their sustainability • Ensure tailored approaches requiring no additional resources and no expert knowledge • Implementation and application need to be done by affected corporate functions – making they feel owning the subject • Voluntary approach superior to mandatory one (one-size-fits all, no competitive advantage) 9
Back-up • Other answers to sustainability challenge • Organisation of sustainability in Ford of Europe • More PSI information • Evolution of Dfx 10
Sustainability of Cars – the answers • “We, the auto industry, need to take the initiative • Accept that consumer not ready to compromise price or performance for green • Accelerate low-CO2 technologies … • Cooperate with the oil co’s • Work with governments (integrated approach) for support through taxation, incentives and infrastructure” John Fleming President and CEO Ford of Europe Sustainability is the pre-condition for continuing business & will finally 11 turn to an opportunity

PSI Verification Study • Internal LCA & LCC expert study (more details, more impacts, sensitivity, Monte Carlo analysis etc.) • Monte Carlo & Sensitivity Analysis suggested that only differences of 8% (GWP, POCP, waste), 7 % (AP, EP) respectivly 15% (ADP) are significant 15
PSI experiences • Incremental work (tracking, calculation) due to PSI only 10 – 15 hours as perfectly fit to existing structures (voluntary not legally mandatory). • Facilitated new insights for PD regarding costs along the life cycle (LCC) and trade-offs along the environmental life cycle (LCA). • Incremental work of verification / expert study much higher (months, external costs etc.). • Verification study was – as a once-off study - important to verify the simplified calculations. • External review allowed sharing the experience with external world and to get scientific confidence by external, leading scientists. 16
PSI Verification Study Conclusions (exerpt) • Difference between results of non-LCA experts (PD) and expert study is below 2% • Galaxy/S-MAX 2.0l diesel versions are environmentally superior* to gasoline versions in terms of GWP (beyond 82,000 km), POCP (beyond 37,000 km) as well as AP and EP (at any mileage), • Galaxy 2.0l TDCi is environmentally superior* to the previous Galaxy 1.9l TDI in terms of POCP (beyond 450000 km), AP and EP (at any mileage) and total waste (mileage beyond 100,000 km). • Diesel versions are economically preferable beyond 255000 km in 12 years for the assumed yearly fuel, insurance and maintenance costs respectively around 200000 km at 50% of those assumed in the main scenario. 17 * Difference > 8% for GWP, POCP
Evolution of DfX – Example vehicles • Early 90es – Df Disassembly (Accessability, type & number of fastener, parts marking etc.) • Mid 90es – Df Recycling (DfD + material complexity / compatibility, recycled content) MLife Cycle Assessment studies show minor effect of recycling for non-metals MReal world time measurements showed no significant impact of DfD/design on dismantling times MPost-Shredder Treatment is environmentally favourable • Late 90es – Df Environment (Life Cycle Thinking based, decreasing DfD/R content due to development above) • 2002 – Df Sustainability (e.g. Product Sustainability Index ) 18

Sustainable Life Cycle Management - indirect life cycle stakeholder (example vehicle) • Governments: • Shaping consumer purchasing and driving behaviour, • Create a reliable, non-contradictory legal framework. • Investors • Shareholder groups requiring sustainable profits respecting environmental and social constraints. 20
Motivation – Business Case • Internal voluntary tool – no external pressure to do so (no legal, no competitive pressure) -> prerequisite to find the optimal fit to Ford structure • No legal requirement is tracked by PSI • Allowing long-term perspective (life cycle environmental impacts) • Ensuring current product competitiveness (economic indicator) • Allowing a comprehensive overview about impact of design actions to sustainability aspects 21

Shredders and Material Separation Application 23
Post-Shredder Treatment (PST) vs. dismantling / mechanical Recycling • (refering to considered part of Life Cycle) SiCon Process Dismantling A PST via the SiCon- Process with mechanical recycling & mainly feedstock recycling the resulting 20% material streams is environmentally superior compared to a dismantling & 40% mechanical recycling. Reduction of Emissions • Sensitivity analysis demonstrates that this advantage remains also for 60% bigger facilities (longer transport distances). 80% • Note: Dismantling / Mechanical recycling with theoretical assumption of no 100% environmental impacts for cleaning / separation. Global Warm Acidification Summer Eutrophication Advantage can be only ing Potential potential smogpot. potential established if whole process (CO2 etc.) (SO2 etc.) (HC, NOx...) (PO4 etc.) with all materials of shredder residue is considered. Source: ISO14040 reviewed LCA study of VW 24
