The aim of this study is to assess, from the environmental standpoint, the eco-innovations of automotive components developed in the framework of the HI REACH project, whose specific purpose was the eco-(re)design of the Rear Traction Module (RTM) of a motorcycle. The project was promoted by a supply network composed of 7 Italian SMEs involved in almost the whole module’s manufacturing, starting from the primary and secondary metalworking processes through to the finishing and assembly stages. An LCA study was carried out in support of the HI-REACH project, aiming to compare the environmental performances achieved by the innovative solutions proposed versus the state-of-the-art system.
