“…We can notice that some ideas may end up in a vehicle project without going through all the previous phases. Moreover, the management of the innovation department and the vehicle projects are independent (Buet, Gidel and Millet, 2010). The EoL type approval is made at the end of the vehicle project when the bill of material of the vehicle is available.…”

“…The action upstream of the design process must be privileged: although there is little information about the product, the potential for improvement and the degrees of freedom are more important. Moreover, the structures in charge of innovations for car manufacturers are completely detached from the development projects of vehicles (Buet, Gidel and Millet, 2010); the constraints are less strong than in vehicle projects.…”

While the European regulation on the end-of-life vehicle is more and more strict, the introduction of innovations makes the material composition of vehicles evolve and can lead to a risk for approval on the recoverability of the vehicle. We set up a preventive tool named OSIRIS to evaluate the impact of an innovation on the recyclability rate of a vehicle. The innovation teams and the vehicle project leaders may obtain a tendency of this impact. It is supported 1) by a modular point of view of the vehicle, 2) by a simplifying assumption for fixing a module, and 3) on a management of the end-oflife options. By testing this approach on a hybrid motorization, we show that the uncertainty resulting from the simplifying hypothesis is less than 0.20% when the initial and innovative solutions have a mass difference less than 40-60 kg. 1 Context Since the end of the 90's, the car has become one of the most regulated products, for example on pollutants (European Parliament, Council, 2007) and carbon dioxide emissions (European Parliament, Council, 2009) during the use. The analysis of (Schipper, 2011) shows that, since the 80's, in spite of the reduction of fuel consumption relative to the vehicle mass, the vehicle mass and power have never stopped to increase because of the rise in the levels of service expected by the customer.

“…Our project research is to integrate an eco-design method for the Innovation structure at a car manufacturer. One of the particularities of the automotive industry is that there is a "clear distinction between the vehicle development project and the innovation project" [11]. Although there is less information on the final product in the Innovation structure than in the vehicle development projects, the levers for action and improvement are higher.…”

“…Figure 2 shows all interactions between the three functions. According to the authors, the companies in the automotive industry are good examples of the application of the concept of RID; Buet et al [11] remind that innovative design projects are distinguished from the vehicle development projects. Therefore, the specifications of an eco-design method for the development are different from those for the Innovation structure.…”

This paper lies within the integration of an eco-design method adapted to the Innovation structure at a car manufacturer. The environmental constraints in the automotive industry are more and more important (European emission standards for exhaust emissions, European directive on end-of life vehicles …). Eco-design is a new manner to design products related to the concept of sustainable development, which combines economy and ecology and put the environmental criterion alongside the classical criterions of design. The goal of this study is to identify the specifications of a strategy for integrating the dimension “Environment”. This strategy is applied in the innovation process thanks to eco-design tools which are the learning vectors for an organization, and therefore support a learning process. This process is structured with the interactions between the management of firm, the environment department, and the design team. Therefore we first make a synthesis of the different classifications of eco-design tools and use two categories: diagnosis and improvement. Second, as our goal is the integration in the Innovation structure and within a design process, we analyze some design process models and highlight the RID (Research, Innovation structure, Development) concept. Third, the main practices of several car makers are synthetized and a focus on three of them (Volvo, Ford, and Volkswagen) is made; we link their strategies with the concept of RID. Finally in the fourth part, we propose a model of a strategy for integrating eco-design practices based on the three examples and supported by a learning process.
