The 12 step approach in ecodesign has been applied to a fuel tank of a passenger car of the Hyundai Motors in 2004-2005. The project includes the integration of the generic 12 step ecodesign approach into the fuel tank development process and the development of a specific checklist for ecodesign aimed at generating target specification of the fuel tank. The outcome of the project were: specific ecodesign method for the automobile parts development, method for developing checklist to generate target specifications, and actual target specifications applicable to the redesign of the fuel tank.
