  • Prospects for Sustainable Micro-Factory Retailing in Canada
    PROSPECTS FOR SUSTAINABLE MICRO-FACTORY RETAILING IN CANADA PROSPECTS FOR SUSTAINABLE MICRO-FACTORY RETAILING IN CANADA: A CASE STUDY OF 3D PRINTED ELECTRIC VEHICLES By STEPHEN QUINN HACHEY, B.Sc. A Thesis Submitted to the School of Graduate Studies in Partial Fulfilment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Science McMaster University © Copyright by Stephen Quinn Hachey, December 2017 MASTER of SCIENCE (2017) McMaster University (School of Geography & Earth Sciences) Hamilton, Ontario, Canada TITLE Prospects for Sustainable Micro-Factory Retailing in Canada: A Case Study of 3D Printed Electric Vehicles AUTHOR Stephen Quinn Hachey Bachelor of Environmental Science (McMaster University, 2014) SUPERVISORS Professor K. B. Newbold and Professor P. S. Kanaroglou NUMBER OF PAGES: xv, 228 Abstract The contemporary global automotive industry has persisted, relatively unchanged, since its inception over a century ago. However, it appears that major changes may be underfoot with increasing environmental, social, and economic pressures to improve the industry's long-term sustainability. An alternative model, known as Micro-Factory Retailing (MFR), guided by the emerging field of Industrial Ecology (IE) has been proposed as a possible solution to the industry’s sustainability crisis. This thesis will explore the prospects of MFR in Canada and propose the use of 3D printed electric vehicles as a means to facilitate sustainable system innovation. To demonstrate the feasibility of this proposed technological pathway, three entrepreneurial firms attempting to disrupt the way in which cars are made, sold, and used will be studied. Although the timeline of such a major transition is currently unknown, Canada should act proactively to transition its role in the global automotive sector and lead the way towards a more sustainable automotive ecosystem through MFR.

    Facultad de Ciencias Económicas y Administrativas Carrera de Administración Trabajo de Grado – Primer Semestre 2021 Trabajo de grado en la modalidad de TESIS Tecnologías Verdes en el Futuro de la Industria Automotriz Andrés Sebastián Cely Herazo (a) [email protected] Edwin Alexander Sabogal Rojas (b) [email protected] (a) Estudiante de Administración (b) Profesor Docente Monitor de Taller de Grado, Departamento de Administración Pontificia Universidad Javeriana, Bogotá, Colombia Abstract: Despite the efforts of the different stakeholders around the automotive industry there is uncertainty about the technologies that will help the people to commute; these days, media, governments and mostly any car enthusiast recognize some of the green alternatives that can be chosen from the market, and tend to compare them to the current petrol powered engines. And even if manufacturers offer any of the options, they are not a hundred percent sure about which of those will make them succeed and keep them on the business for some other years. This thesis analyses the changes among the car producers through the history since the early days of horseless carriages until the day, in order to understand the possible decisions that are being taken today, and that in the future will determine a new era of the modern day automobile. Keywords: Car Industry; hybrid; electric; hydrogen; green technologies; Análisis histórico. Resumen: A pesar del interés de los diferentes stakeholders alrededor de la industria automotriz, no se ve con claridad qué tecnología será la que predomine en el futuro de la movilidad; ya se conoce que los combustibles derivados del petróleo y los motores impulsados por los mismos tienen los días contados, pues se puede divisar en el panorama las alternativas verdes que aunque costosas ya están disponibles en el mercado como opciones bastante competitivas.
