|
Impacts on energy efficiency:
|
|
|
|
|
Energy efficiency potential for single vehicle: not applicable |
|
|
|
|
Energy efficiency potential throughout fleet: not applicable |
|
|
|
|
|
By constructing a mechanism to share LCC gains or losses with manufacturers, bonus / penalty rules create an incentive for producing low-LCC stock. The corresponding energy efficiency effects are undoubted but difficult to quantify. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Other environmental impacts: positive |
|
|
|
|
|
In some areas (e.g. mass reduction) where target conflicts between energy efficiency and other environmental indicators can arise, bonus / penalty rules could incorporate life cycle assessment to get a more comprehensive view. However, this entails the danger of making bonus / penalty rules too complex in order to become a powerful economic incentive for manufacturers. |
