AB  - For a successful energy and mobility transition, multifaceted technologies, e.g., fuel cellelectric vehicles (FCEV) are developed. Next to technical advantages, environmental, economic,and social aspects must be considered. Especially the social implications for variousstakeholders are often neglected but are no less important. Thus, goal of this study is toidentify possible social risks associated with the production of an FCEV in Germany, usingthe concept of Social Life Cycle Assessment. Social topics investigated are association andbargaining rights, trade unionism, fair salary, gender wage gap and weekly hours of work. Resultsshow that the proton exchange membrane fuel cell is a hotspot component, bearing 31e41% of the risk, which is mainly caused by the membrane. Germany is, next to China andIndia, the major hotspot country, depending on the social topic. Changes in componentprices can have an influence on this, as can be seen at the example of the membrane.
