Abstract

The Theory of Inventive Problem Solving (TRIZ) is applied to identify design opportunities towards lean fuel consumption of passenger cars and related carbon dioxide (CO₂) emissions. The system of interest is enlarged to add a behavioral dimension (the level of occupation for each use situation) to the technological dimension (the passenger car). TRIZ leads to the ideation of a reconfigurable passenger car. An emergent implication of the proposal is its theoretical ability to attenuate the rebound effects of car use by adapting vehicle’s configuration to different use-cases, which is relevant given current automobility patterns and the European policy towards CO₂ emission reduction. This result is relevant within the context of the transport policy. Disruptive solutions such as the proposals for modularity at the system level of the product architecture in a passenger car are relevant for the set of technological options of vehicle lightweighting for climate change strategy. The potential to change the market structures, improving energy efficiency, and fostering behavioral change is inherent to this option of vehicle lightweighting.
