Result description
We developed a vehicle platform and a seating structure ready for circular economy. In addition we set up different business models with possbilities for numerous players to start into this circular business.
In the FiberEUse project vehicles structures ready to be reused over several vehicle lifes were examined with good results. To complete the system, different business models were developed ensuring a profitable market entry. These business models provide opportunities for numerous players of the circular value chain:
- Component manufacturers
- OEMs
- Users (Car sharing providers, Fleet owners, etc.)
- Dismantlers
- Recyclers
- Remanufacturers
- Logistics providers
Addressing target audiences and expressing needs
- Business partners – SMEs, Entrepreneurs, Large Corporations
- Incubators / Accelerators
We have different business models ready to be exploited. There are possiblities for fleet owners, car sharing providers, dismantlers, remanufacturers, component manufacturers, OEMs, etc.
- Public or private funding institutions
- Other Actors who can help us fulfil our market potential
- Private Investors
R&D, Technology and Innovation aspects
The demonstrated components are ready for tests in the free market, same applies to the business models behind them. We are searching for partners to implement the developed strategies to form the circular value chain.
The business models can be expanded with low effort to other countries and industries once the circular value chain is formed.
A life cycle assessment showed we achieve much lower emissions by reusing the components instead of using a newly manufactured part. This lowers also the ressources needed.
