Avaliação do impacto ambiental causado pela produção de um motor flex

Abstract

The planet goes through a time of much discussion and concern about climate change, the use of natural resources and the production of eco efficient products. Most Brazilian vehicles use the Flex engine in its composition. This research presents a theoretical and conceptual approach to the production of a Brazilian Flex engine, focusing on appraisal engine life cycle. Since the vehicles are fully present in everyday life of the population and its use is indispensable, the importance of a study on the production of a Flex engine. In an interview to an employee of an automaker, engine information was collected, such as weight parts, materials composing and processes of production of details, was also acquired through an article spending power value to produce an engine. With this information it is noted that the engine was composed of three materials, cast iron, aluminum and brass. Thus it was simulated motor manufacturing process, and thus the environmental impacts generated by the motor manufacture. He introduced himself as the major cause of impact is the production of aluminum.
