Jiroutková, Tereza ; Bartoň, Petr (advisor) ; Rotschedl, Jiří (referee)
This thesis deals with CO2 emissions that rise from manufacturing of new VW Golf. The basis is official study issued by Volkswagen car factory which is concerned with manufacturing emissions of 4 types of VW Golf. In this paper they leave out emissions that origin from transportatiton of components and materials from other parts of world or other parts of Europe. The purpose of thesis is to count CO2 emissions generated by operation of cargo ships and trucks that are transporting components to the Wolfsburg car factory in Germany for final assembly and determine, if the omitting of those emisssions from official study from this car factory is or is not a serious distortion. Using data on road and sea distances are there counted 3 model examples of importing from several VW car factories spread over several continents and CO2 emissions caused by this transportation of components. Through calculations and comparing the results of CO2 emissions from transportation with emissions produced during car manufacturing in Wolfsburg was not shown that the emissions were crucial. And therefore based on my calculations was not shown that the offical emission data were distorted.
