the Automobile Industry sustainability
Journal of Cleaner Production, 2007Co-Authors: Renato J Orsato, Peter Erskine WellsAbstract:This paper summarises the contributions made to the special issue on The Automobile Industry & Sustainability. Taking a life-cycle perspective, the contributions are allocated into the automotive life-cycle phases of design, manufacture (and supply chain management), use, and disposal or ‘end of life vehicle’ management. The contributions are also set into the broader context of research into the global automotive Industry, and the economic, social and environmental pressures confronting the Industry. In doing so, this introductory paper provides a brief assessment of the ways in which the papers in the special issue have furthered our understanding of the difficulty in achieving a sustainable automotive Industry, and some of the measures that might be taken as progress towards that difficult goal.

A framework of reverse logistics for the Automobile Industry
International Journal of Production Research, 2012Co-Authors: Felix T.s. Chan, Hing Kai Chan, Vipul JainAbstract:Reverse logistics has become more and more important to the Automobile Industry, owing to various reasons including unavoidable product recalls, legislative policy regarding environmental and sustainable issues, etc. In fact, the need for recovery of returned vehicles has been receiving more attention than ever before due to growing environmental concerns. Ironically, not many Automobile manufacturers have a satisfactory reverse logistics system for recovering and reusing returned vehicles. This is partly because the effort devoted to this area is not very systematically investigated. In this connection, this paper aims at investigating the reverse logistics activities of the Automobile Industry, and to provide a framework for those activities. Firstly, the drivers for reverse logistics in this Industry are revisited. Key components which are valuable and feasible for reuse or remanufacture are then identified. Based on this investigation, a framework of reverse logistics for the Automobile Industry is pr...
