摘要

•Resources, emissions and impact from manufacture to end of life were estimated.•Operating diesel gensets and disposing metallic scrap were significant processes.•Correlations between fuel consumption and impact categories were identified.•The influence of the end of life scenarios on ecotoxicity potential was studied.•Environmental benefits of the hybrid system were compared and verified.
