Each supplier has developed their products and raw materials from reused and recycled material, recovered carbon black (rCB), bio-based material, and green steel. Some suppliers have invested in climate-neutral technologies such as electrification and hydrogen. Some suppliers converted manufacturing facilities to smart factories, applying digital solutions for reduced energy consumption, and using renewable energy from solar panels.
This report summarizes recent CO2 emission reduction activities of major European part suppliers: Bosch, ZF, Continental, Schaeffler, Faurecia, and Valeo.
