This paper applies a case study approach for Australia and calculates the equipment life cycle assessment of diesel, hybrid and electric buses. This study prepared the assessment according to the procedures and methodologies outlined in the ISO 14040:2006 Environmental Management – Life Cycle Assessment. The authors have chosen three bus models currently in service in the Australian bus fleet to serve as a baseline model for comparison. The amount of greenhouse gas emissions were calculated from the production, assembly, transportation, maintenance and disposal phases. The results in this study show that the electric bus has a higher total environmental impact than the diesel and hybrid bus, mainly due to the manufacturing of the lithium-ion battery. The results also show that the electric bus has a higher environmental impact than the diesel and hybrid bus (18.2% and 14.7% higher, respectively), albeit specific to the product life cycle and without including operation emissions. However, there are many opportunities to reduce product life cycle emissions, such as improvement in manufacturing efficiency, developing new battery technology and production in regions with low carbon-intense grid-mixes.

Forecasting technology is one way that can be used to predict product life cycle. Product life cycle is very important to know, especially by organizations, that are in small medium level, like SME. This research will be conducted in SME Surya Usaha Mandiri, Daerah Istimewa Yogyakarta.Forecasting product life cycle that has been done, will direct this research toward the stage of product development. Stages of development of the products are a necessary stage for an organization, especially in SME, to innovate the product. The purpose of this research is to propose the development of products, such as the stages of innovation that can be done in SME Surya Usaha Mandiri, forecasting conducted based on life cycle assessment of products and technology components using technometric model. The results of this research are proposed innovation based forecasting and product life cycle assessment in SME Surya Usaha Mandiri using technometric model.
