Automotive

➊ Industry introduction

Understanding the Imperatives

Producing a single vehicle may require up to 151m3 of water (source: WaterWorld). Vehicle manufacturing is also energy intensive, and generates large volumes of waste.

Veolia understands the sustainability challenges experienced in the automotive industry, and shares the commitment to reduce carbon emissions. Another concern facing vehicle manufacturers is the ability to predict shortages of raw materials - thus the importance of meeting recycling targets and the drive towards creating a circular economy (like ZLD in the water cycle, for instance).
