We present experiences from using the EcoClass life cycle assessment tool in participatory product development. EcoClass is designed as an easily accessible, user-friendly tool providing data on three emissions categories during production and utilization of urban transport vehicles. In contrast to most other LCA models, EcoClass allows online modifications of vehicle utilization parameters to reflect changes in behavior. Its use with lay people revealed that the model in its current version is well suited to raise awareness and provide information, whereas it still needs improvement before it can be used for detailed production decisions.
