- Vehicle category: C-segment (sedan and MPV).
- Data calculated within the framework of the homologated WLTC procedure to measure fuel consumption, electric range and emissions of CO2 and pollutants from passenger cars and light duty vehicles.
- All the data are calculated in grams of CO2 equivalents per person over a travel-distance of 1 km, based on a vehicle occupancy by 1.3 people.
- For each vehicle analysed, the life cycle of the tyre is the same: 2 g

ABOUT IFPEN:
IFP Energies nouvelles (IFPEN) is a leading player in research, innovation (R&I) and training in the fields of energy, transport and the environment.All the R&I work conducted by IFPEN is developed on the basis of Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) linked to different economic and energy scenarios.
Second generation biofuels (advanced biofuels)are fuels made from plant matter, which do not compete with food production (agricultural residues, forestry waste, specific crops, etc…). Compatible with current fuels and with all types of engines, they make it possible to significantly reduce greenhouse-gas emissions.
AN EXAMPLE OF LIFE CYCLE ASSESSMENT:WHICH VEHICLE EMITS THE LOWEST AMOUNT OF GREENHOUSE GASES?
…IN A WIDE VARIETY OF SECTORS
TODAY, EVERYONE NEEDS TO USE LCA…
Providing law-makerswith data to enable themto draw up environmental regulations
Helping to designnew products in a more environmentally friendly way
AREAS OF APPLICATION
LCA can be applied to anyday-to-day object. For example, it can be used to assess whether a reusable flask has more or less impact on the environment than a plastic bottle.
Comparingthe environmental impact of several products that have the same function
Helping to improvethe environmental performance of an existing product

A METHODOLOGY
THE LIFECIRCLE OF A PRODUCT, FROM THE CRADLE TO THE GRAVE
LCA is a methodology used for assessing the potential environmental impacts of a product or a service throughout its life cycle.
