Abstract :
The intelligent application of electronics may lead to reduced energy consumption and reduced environmental impacts, although electronics may have considerable environmental impacts and energy consumption during production and use. A LCA study, conducted together with Continental AG and Motorola, demonstrates this fact and points out how these effects can be quantified by suitable modeling and calculation. Subject-matter of this study was the comparison of the automotive starter-generator ISAD with a conventional system including separate starter and generator
