Due to the strengthening of environmental laws and an increasing concern about sustainability into society, it becomes important in modern corporate management to address these issues and recognize them as a major competitive advantage. The demand for products with enhanced environmental profiles is becoming an essential goal within new product concepts and development.When a new truck line was launched to the market in 2006, the opportunity arose to conduct the first study in the Brazilian automotive industry, which should provide a holistic view of the environmental profile of a product during its entire life through life cycle analysis (LCA). This paper presents the results of the application of this new approach to heavy-duty vehicles.
