“…However, existing work mainly focuses on energy and resource efficiency potentials of single phases of the motor's lifecycle, e.g. a resource efficient design [1,2,3,4], energy and resource efficient manufacturing processes [5,6,7] or energy consumption during operation [8,9,10,11], to name just a few. Thus, this paper summarizes sustainability aspects regarding electric motors from various perspectives, namely the market, product and process view.…”
