The automotive sector is one of the fastest growing sectors of economy. The increasing amount of cars both in Polish and world roads results in the immeasurable benefits associated with the goods and human transport. On the other hand, this phenomenon caused the contamination of the environment. During the fuel combustion in petrol or diesel engines, the harmful gases, for example CO2, NOx and SOx are emitted. Apart from the negative impact on the environment, the emission of the aforementioned gases results in the deterioration of human conditions, as well as, the development of civilization diseases. In order to minimalize the harmful influence of an automotive industry on the environment, new technologies which can reduce the consumption of fuel or limit the fumes emission are developed. The first part of paper presents new solutions in an automotive sector which influence on the decline of the negative impact of automobiles on the environment. Additionally, proposed solutions affect the development of a car industry, taking into consideration environmental aspects.

Interaction Intensity

Die Digitalisierung und der Wandel der Kundenbedürfnisse verändern das Nutzerverhalten sowie das Nutzenverständnis der Kunden und erfordern neue Wertangebote, also Produkte und Dienstleistungen, auch im B2B-Bereich. Deshalb werden bisher getrennte oder vollständig neue Wertangebote zunehmend in gemeinsamen Geschäftsmodellen von einer Gruppe interagierender Akteure innerhalb von sogenannten Business Ecosystems gebündelt. Die Relevanz dieses Sachverhalts und die einhergehende Veränderung der Kooperationsart und Interaktionsintensität zwischen den Unternehmen (Industrielogik) wurde in einer Studie mit 16 Maschinenbauunternehmen untersucht. Im ersten Teil des Beitrags, der in der wt Werkstattstechnik online Ausgabe 11/12-2019 erschienen ist, wurde die Ausgangssituation der Branche, der Stand der Forschung und die Zielsetzung der Studie beschrieben. In diesem zweiten Teil werden die wesentlichen Erkenntnisse der Studie diskutiert und ein zusammenfassender Ausblick gegeben.   Digitization and changes in customer needs affect both user behaviour and understanding and require new value propositions (products and services), also in the B2B sector. For this reason, previously separate or completely new value propositions are increasingly bundled in common business models by a group of interacting actors within so-called business ecosystems. The relevance of this issue and the associated change in the type of cooperation and interaction intensity between companies (industry logic) was investigated in a study with 16 mechanical engineering companies. In the first part of the article, in the wt Werkstattstechnik online issue 11/12 2019, the initial situation of the industry, the state of research and the objectives of the study were described. In this second part, the main findings of the study are discussed and a summarizing outlook is given.

More and more efforts are directed towards the standardization of the methods of determining the functional unit (FU) in a Life Cycle Assessment (LCA). These efforts concern the development of theories and detailed methodological guides, but also the evaluation of the quality of the FU obtained. The objective of this article is to review this work in order to propose, using a multiscale approach, a method for defining the FU in the mining sector, which takes into account all the dimensions of the system under study. In this first part, the emphasis is on identifying the shortcomings of the FU. The absence of a precise normative framework specific to each sector of activity, as well as the complex, multifunctional and hard-to-scale nature of the systems concerned, are at the origin of the flexibility in the selection of the FU. This lack of a framework, beyond generating a heterogeneous definition of the FU for the same system, most often leads to an incomplete formulation of this sensitive concept of LCA. It has been found that key parameters such as the end-use of a product or process, as well as the interests of stakeholders, are hardly taken into account in the specification of the FU.
