Abstract

Concern for environment is an important element and obligation in contemporary automobile manufacturing. This paper presents an approach to assess environmental performances of motor vehicles by the application of multi-criteria assessment tools. Within the first part of the paper the multi-criteria problem is presented, with special emphasis on selection of criteria for assessment of passenger vehicles' environmental performances. The second part of the paper describes the application of a multi-criteria assessment according to two approaches – VK Software and Compromise Programming (CP) method. The obtained results are compared and discussed.
