Abstract
Promoting sustainability and the circular economy in the automotive industry is crucial. In the strategy to transform the automotive market and optimise vehicle design from today to tomorrow, researchers, designers, and administrative personnel jointly work to face the social and economic demands that the new environmental policies require. Even though it determines challenges in the vehicle design that is now a hallmark of the automotive market, the quality of raw materials, fixtures, and component structures must be adequately considered from the perspective of circularity and sustainability. Computer-Aided Design (CAD) software enables precision and optimisation during the upstream and downstream vehicle concept, reducing risks and enabling savings in the interest of all stakeholders. The systematic literature review aims to answer how CAD software contributes to the development of the circular economy in the automotive industry. The benefits of this paper for academia and practitioners are to provide information on the latest features of CAD software for automotive applications and highlight CAD software's impacts on automotive circularity.
