Week 5: Vehicle Component Percentage

In week five, research was conducted online to find out and extrapolate manufacturing data to figure out the percentage of vehicle weight that each component represented. In addition, we researched how much of each type of material went into the production of each component.

Below are several tables representing the manufacturing data for the Prius and Hummer. Information was acquired directly from the GREET 2 model of 2014.
