This conference builds on the success of the four previous Total Life Cycle Conferences.
Transportation faces unique challenges as it moves into the future.
The world, as we know it, can not exist without sustainable mobility. The worldwide emphasis on emissions reductions, improved materials, improved manufacturing techniques, reductions of hazardous wastes, improved safety and less expensive transportation options requires new decision making tools based on life cycle analysis, environmental impacts and economic feasibilities. The scientists, engineers, and managers attending this conference are meeting these challenges. Focusing on the future of transportation, this premier forum brings together the environmental experts working in the aerospace, automotive, shipping and rail industries to share common solutions. This meeting also provides the opportunity to discuss current and forthcoming policies, standards and regulations in the environ- mental arena.
