Such new business models address resource depletion, issues associated with waste management, and innovative design of products and services. Transition requires new management practices and resource stewardship models that go beyond the traditional product life cycle requiring collaborative or inter-organizational governance structures. Global market challenges are faced, such as incorporating the cost of externalities, capitalizing on impact investing, developing integrated frameworks to account for sustainability performance, and enhancing corporate resilience and adaptation in regard to climate change.

AbstractAutonomous driving will not just change vehicles themselves, but also the entire concept of mobility. New business models and the expansion of individual mobility to new groups of society are merely examples of possible impact. In order to create optimal vehicles for new technologies right from the start, vehicle concept optimization helps to find suitable solutions from numerous possible variations. The package as part of a vehicle concept is currently focused on passenger cars with steering wheels and pedals. Therefore, a new method is needed to plan the package of driverless and autonomous vehicles. In this paper, we present a possible method that separates the vehicle into the interior and the front and rear wagon. This way, different seating layouts can be considered and evaluated in terms of package efficiency. In the results, we check the plausibility by rebuilding a current battery electric vehicle (BEV) and, by way of example, show the variation of the gear angle and different seating layouts, and the resulting package efficiency.
