This dataset describes the production of an electric passenger car without its battery. The entries are based on a per kg basis. The model is optimized for a vehicle of about 1200kg including the battery. It is subdivided in two modules, the glider and the drivetrain. Each module contains the specific materialization and production efforts and emissions. The specific end of life treatment of each module is covered in the respective dataset. The dataset includes the manual dismantling of the car at the end of its life and the waste fractions deriving from this process. The battery of the vehicle is in the respective transport dataset.
Undefined unit processes (UPRs) are the unlinked, multi-product activity datasets that form the basis for all of the system models available in the ecoinvent database. This is the way the datasets are obtained and entered into the database by the data providers. These activity datasets are useful for investigating the environmental impacts of a specific activity (gate-to-gate), without regard to its upstream or downstream impacts.
