Automotive product footprint solution

Connect vehicles, BOMs and suppliers for continuous footprint calculation

Cover vehicle and component PCFs, EPDs, multi-tier supplier data and reduction analysis with one product data set for engineering, procurement, manufacturing and sustainability teams.

Why now

Customer access, export compliance and eco-design all need product-level carbon data

nexLCA connects vehicle, component and supplier data so footprinting becomes an ongoing business capability instead of a separate project every time.

01

Deliver faster

Respond quickly to customer PCFs, EPDs and data requests.

02

Reduce risk

Keep boundaries, factors and versions aligned for third-party verification.

03

Find reduction opportunities

Identify high-impact materials, components and suppliers for design and sourcing decisions.

01 / DATA FOUNDATION

Connect existing business systems

When vehicles and BOMs change, footprints change with them

Connect engineering, procurement, manufacturing, logistics and material systems and map dispersed data to one vehicle structure with less manual export and duplicate maintenance.

Complete workflow

Four steps from vehicle data to complete footprints

One data set supports supplier collaboration, lifecycle calculation, hotspot analysis and final delivery.

01

Connect vehicles and BOMs

Sync vehicle lines, super BOMs, components, materials, versions and supply relationships.

02

Engage supplier tiers

Issue data requests across T1 to Tn and track submission, review and remediation.

03

Calculate vehicle and component PCFs

Cover raw materials, production, distribution, use and end-of-life in lifecycle calculations.

04

Find hotspots and deliver

Identify high-impact materials and processes and generate PCF, EPD, customer and verification outputs.

Supplier carbon data collaboration

Give every supplier a clear request and use every approved answer in the vehicle model

Issue requests by component and supply relationship, track progress, review quality and manage remediation, then use approved data directly in the vehicle product system.
