Zusammenfassung

This article presents the carbon footprint study performed on Volvo Cars’ models XC40 Recharge (battery electric vehicle, BEV) and XC40 ICE (internal combustion engine fuelled with petrol). The study focused on the lifetime emissions from the vehicles under current conditions, using current electricity mix and the functional unit was “The use of a specific Volvo vehicle driving 200 000 km”. The results showed that the carbon footprint of the XC40 ICE is 58 tonnes CO2 equivalents, whereas the footprint for the XC40 Recharge lies between 27 and 54 tonnes CO2 equivalents depending on the electricity mix used for driving. The study was reported in a transparent way which is of importance for future communication of environmental performance of vehicles and their supply chains.
