“…A different approach was followed by Dahlbo et al (2007) in which costs were calculated through a societal life cycle costs (SLCC) and environmental impacts were measured by LCAs. SLCC refers to the costs produced in the entire life cycle of a product or service within the system boundaries defined in the LCA.…”

“…Rebitzer et al (2003) proposed an LCA-based LCC method, which utilizes an LCA model as a basis for cost estimations to compare life cycle costs of alternatives and detect direct and indirect (hidden) cost drivers. Other authors have proposed the following alternative indexes: Value Ratio Model (Vogtländer et al 2001), Econo-Environmental Return (EER) (Bage and Samson 2003) and Social Life Cycle Costs (SLCC) (Dahlbo et al 2007). …”

International audienceA coupled Life Cycle Costing and life cycle assessment has been performed for car-bodies of the Korean Tilting Train eXpress (TTX) project using European and Korean databases, with the objective of assessing environmental and cost performance to aid materials and process selection. More specifically, the potential of polymer composite car-body structures for the Korean Tilting Train eXpress (TTX) has been investigated. This assessment includes the cost of both carriage manufacturing and use phases, coupled with the life cycle environmental impacts of all stages from raw material production, through carriage manufacture and use, to end-of-life scenarios. Metallic carriages were compared with two composite options: hybrid steel-composite and full-composite carriages. The total planned production for this regional Korean train was 440 cars, with an annual production volume of 80 cars. The coupled analyses were used to generate plots of cost versus energy consumption and environmental impacts. The results show that the raw material and manufacturing phase costs are approximately half of the total life cycle costs, whilst their environmental impact is relatively insignificant (3-8%). The use phase of the car-body has the largest environmental impact for all scenarios, with near negligible contributions from the other phases. Since steel rail carriages weigh more (27-51%), the use phase cost is correspondingly higher, resulting in both the greatest environmental impact and the highest life cycle cost. Compared to the steel scenario, the hybrid composite variant has a lower life cycle cost (16%) and a lower environmental impact (26%). Though the full composite rail carriage may have the highest manufacturing cost, it results in the lowest total life cycle costs and lowest environmental impacts. This coupled cost and life cycle assessment showed that the full composite variant was the optimum solution. This case study showed that coupling of technical cost models with life cycle assessment offers an efficient route to accurately evaluate economic and environmental performance in a consistent way
