| Abstract | A computer-implemented resource accounting model has been developed for assessing resource impacts of future automobile technology options. The resources tracked are materials, energy, capital, and labor. The model has been used in support of the Interagency Task Force on Motor Vehicle Goals Beyond 1980. The report describes the methodology. Annual production requirements for up to thirty materials are accumulated. Projected demand is disaggregated among primary and secondary materials, imports and domestic sources. Capital and labor impacts of auto design changes, disaggregated by two-hundred industries are determined using a modified input/output model. |
