The transport industry is facing growing environmental challenges, requiring a transformation of design practices. In this context, integrating environmental considerations into design processes is essential to reducing the environmental footprint of products in this sector. The integration of eco-design practices requires a strong strategic vision and the commitment of all stakeholders, from management to operational teams. It is crucial to establish interdisciplinary teams dedicated to implementing these new practices. Raising awareness and providing continuous training for employees are vital to embedding eco-design principles within the company culture.

Furthermore, traditional design processes must be revisited to incorporate environmental criteria. This includes adding specific steps for assessing environmental impacts right from the early stages of design. Finally, eco-design methods and tools play a central role in this transformation. From collaborative work to the most advanced life cycle assessment tools, the integration of eco-design must be supported by a broad range of methods and tools to address the multiple needs and challenges at different levels, depending on the technologies developed.
