3 OEM 的可持續製造機會

英國的零排放目標對建築業意味著什麼？

2020年11月，總理宣布了政府的「綠色工業革命十點計畫」。這個計劃 制定政策和行動 to reach a UK net-zero emissions target by 2050.

這對建築原始設備製造商意味著什麼？儘管 全球二氧化碳排放量 疫情期間建築資源減少了 10%，但現在經濟再次動盪，建築資源正在回升。

Finding ways to carry out sustainable manufacturing — including sourcing 本地製造的緊固件、選擇環保的製造方法以及使用可重複使用的運輸包裝——將逐漸成為原始設備製造商的優先考慮因素，並成為差異化因素。

What Does the UK’s Net-Zero Emissions Target Mean for OEMs?

2020 年報告描述了價值鏈上所有參與者加強脫碳力度的必要性，自發布以來，政府對企業提出了更多期望。 2021 年 10 月， 新報告發布 並詳細介紹了到 2050 年實現淨零排放所需的政策。

• 更大的期望： 政府的期望和消費者的意見都在引發產業的研究和發展。 百分之五十六的英國居民 say they support total decarbonisation. OEMs are turning their attention to finding ways to design zero-emission construction equipment, increase supply chain transparency, and implement policies that will edge them towards their net-zero emissions target.
• 全面的永續發展變革： Sustainable manufacturing will impact OEMs across all parts of their supply chains and production lines. Manufacturers must show their commitment to making sustainable construction equipment a reality through 設計、產品選擇、施工工藝。
• 商業模式的變化：為了更好地服務政府政策並提高交付永續項目的能力，原始設備製造商需要改變其業務模式。據一份報告稱，達到 淨零排放 將需要一種新的方法，重新思考我們如何衡量價值。

然而，這是一項複雜的工作，隨著法規和目標的不斷變化，原始設備製造商需要找到能夠識別其流程中的差距的合作夥伴。

Sustainable Manufacturing Opportunities OEMs Should Consider

對於尋求永續變革的建築製造業來說，第一個挑戰是尋找機會。我們可以幫助您。 OEM 可以透過以下三種方式開始努力實現淨零排放目標：

1. 低碳交通

The electrification of construction vehicles will represent a big wave of sustainable manufacturing in the construction industry. There will likely be financial incentives and tax reductions for people working on this effort, too, because of the impact vehicles have on the carbon footprint of the whole industry.

There are challenges to low-carbon transportation in construction, though. Heavy mobile machinery is unlikely to move from diesel in the near future, and electric vehicles need a lot of supporting equipment that must be developed, designed, and made affordable. Construction vehicle manufacturers who are up for the challenge have a lot to win.

2. 新的製造合作夥伴關係

Sustainable manufacturing is the construction industry’s future, but knowing how to initiate this transformation is a huge challenge. While companies feel the pressure to renovate their processes and supply chains, they need knowledgeable partners who can help bring issues into focus and streamline operations.

Manufacturing partners have expertise and can shed light on changing legislation to help companies innovate while staying within regulations and making good renewable choices. The cost of 打造永續供應鏈 也可能令人生畏，而合作夥伴會幫助打破它。

3. 零件分析

工程車輛由許多 部分 和 緊固件, and the manufacture of these tiny but vital parts could be a significant opportunity to reduce emissions in the OEM process. Engineering fasteners for electrification production will require in-depth analysis of materials, durability, weight, and charge. If we can evolve our fasteners to be more versatile, smaller, and lighter, we’ll have a much better chance of developing whole construction vehicles that use renewable energies.

The government and the public pressure will inspire all industries to head boldly toward net-zero emissions by 2050. The reality of this effort is challenging, but if OEMs can tap into the areas of opportunity that exist in the construction industry, they can find their own way to sustainable manufacturing practices.
