Demand for urban mobility continue to be on the rise and the changing landscape has profound repercussions on a varied range of issues as well as health, safety, water, transport and energy consumption. For this reason, to achieve sustainable urbanization, cities must generate better employment opportunities, expand the necessary infrastructure, ensure equal access to services, preserve the natural assets within the city and surrounding areas. In this context, even in motorsport (particularly in FIA) future trends are beginning to be oriented to sustainability issues and there is a growing interest in assessing the sustainability profile of racing vehicles. Environmental protection and eco-mobility represent the main challenge facing Formula-E by offering electric vehicles (EVs) designed to combine technology, innovation and sustainability, as well as to enable the transition towards low-carbon smart cities in the next future. Up today the sustainability issues in Formula-E have been treated exclusively at system level (i.e. logistics and management, travel, infrastructure and so on), but no studies exist at component level. Technological development related to racing performance field is also potentially boosting innovation, thus supporting continuous improvement of electrical powertrain in terms of efficiency, performance and optimal use of materials, such as rare earths for electric motors and active materials for batteries. The target of the paper is the development and implementation of a tailored methodological approach to assess the environmental impacts of the whole Life-Cycle (LC) of a Formula-E electric motor. The primary data collection is functional to enhance knowledge and inventory regarding the specific application. At the same time, the results provide useful indications to both improve product development under eco-design perspective and ensure technology transfer from racing high-performance cars to commercial vehicles.

电动方程式电动机的环境可持续性分析

对城市交通的需求持续上升，不断变化的景观对健康、安全、水、交通和能源消耗等各种问题产生了深远的影响。因此，要实现可持续城市化，城市必须创造更好的就业机会，扩大必要的基础设施，确保平等获得服务，保护城市及周边地区的自然资产。在这种情况下，即使在赛车运动（尤其是 FIA）中，未来的趋势也开始关注可持续性问题，并且人们对评估赛车的可持续性状况越来越感兴趣。通过提供旨在结合技术、创新和可持续性的电动汽车 (EV)，环境保护和生态机动性代表了电动方程式面临的主要挑战，以及在未来实现向低碳智慧城市的过渡。直到今天，Formula-E 中的可持续性问题仅在系统层面（即物流和管理、旅行、基础设施等）进行处理，但没有在组件层面进行研究。与赛车性能领域相关的技术发展也有可能推动创新，从而支持电动动力总成在效率、性能和材料优化使用方面的持续改进，例如电动机的稀土和电池的活性材料。该论文的目标是开发和实施量身定制的方法论方法，以评估电动方程式电动机整个生命周期 (LC) 的环境影响。主要数据收集的功能是增强有关特定应用程序的知识和清单。同时，这些结果为在生态设计角度下改进产品开发和确保从高性能赛车到商用车的技术转移提供了有用的指示。
