Resumo

This article focus on the area of the efficient resource utilisation within the automotive industry through the dematerialization concept and a service-based strategy. In this context, an innovative approach is presented where dematerialization at the automotive industry is achieved by changing the way automotive business is worked out to a model where mobility is provided. This circumstance will lead the automotive industry to a position of a service provider rather than a product seller. The goal of the dematerialization concept is to substantially reduce the overall material flows in the economy. In the context of dematerialization, this service-based strategy will change automotive user’s need fulfilment in such way that material flows and energy flow of this need fulfilment decreases significantly, and therefore its environmental loads.
