  bibo_abstract:
  - <jats:p>Lightweight design is a common approach to reduce energy demand in the
    use stage of vehicles. The production of lightweight materials is usually associated
    with an increase in energy demand, so the environmental impacts of lightweight
    structures need to be assessed holistically using a life cycle assessment. To
    estimate the life cycle environmental impacts of a product in its developmental
    stage, for example, by life cycle engineering, future changes in relevant influencing
    factors must be considered. Prospective life cycle assessment provides methods
    for integrating future scenarios into life cycle assessment studies. However,
    approaches for integrating prospective life cycle assessment into product development
    are limited. The objective of this work is to provide the methodological foundation
    for integrating future scenarios of relevant influencing factors in the development
    of lightweight structures. The applicability of the novel methodology is demonstrated
    by a case study of a structural component in a steel, aluminium, and hybrid design.
    The results show that appropriate decarbonisation measures can reduce the life
    cycle greenhouse gas emissions by up to 95 percent until 2050. We also found that
    shifts in the environmentally optimal design are possible in future scenarios.
    Therefore, the methodology and data provided contribute to improved decision-making
    in product development.</jats:p>@eng
