- This paper details an innovative framework that, for the first time in the open literature, comprehensively addresses cradle-to-cradle whole life cycle analysis for alternative transportation technologies. This research has been recognised by Wrightbus (Engineering Director Robert Best, (robert.best@wright-bus.com) as ‘providing a cornerstone capability for our future business and technology resource allocation decisions’. The research led to a developed framework that is a critical resource used daily by Wrightbus to support customer tender responses and evaluate life cycle implications of new technologies (e.g. fuel-cell systems) and associated supply-chains.
