in sustainability evaluation (Pohekar et al., 2014, Wang et al, 2009). The Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) was used to develop a system for measuring resilience in industrial supply chain (Lenort et al., 2013). In this case the criteria are related to economic, environmental and social aspects. The results of the stage are sustainability indicators based on MCDA and ranking of fuels variants taking into account the decision-maker assumptions. 4. Conclusion Overview of sustainability analysis with multicriteria decision method approach for the automotive industry was presented in the paper. Life Cycle Assessment is the first step of pollution prevention toward principles of sustainable development. Broadening LCA allows for eco-efficiency evaluation. Currently, there are many different methods of MCDA, and each can be specifically applied to resolving issues in LCA. Recent developments in applying MCDA to LCA have highlighted that the use of MCDA contributes to supporting environmental decisions that are consistent with the values of the decision maker. LCA is efficient and useful tool for decision making for support sustainable transport. The role of LCA as an environmental management tool for support decision-making in the automotive industry is related to European Union strategy, including European Strategy for low-emission mobility, circular economy guidelines as well as national regulations. Implementation of the Circular Economy Action Plan is associated with a reduction in the use of fossil fuel resources, minerals and metals. The use of LCA allows assessment of environmental aspects with life cycle approach and comparative assessments of the use of alternative raw materials, fuels, waste or new technologies. It was concluded that the LCSA methods (LCA, LCC and SLCA) for sustainability assessment are suitable and should be developed in the automotive industry. These methods are used to support decision-making on the three aspects of sustainable transport. Automotive industry needs LCSA methods that will support decision making regarding the development of mobility with alternative fuels, technologies and materials etc. in whole vehicle’s life cycle. There is a need for further studies to evaluate different methods of SLCA and develop criteria for selecting an appropriate of supporting decision-making process in the automotive industry.
