Abstract
The paper focuses on integrating circular economy principles into a model-based system model for the automotive sector. The central research question relates how an existing vehicle system model can be extended with characteristics of a reuse strategy. For this reason, the so-called CE model is presented. By implementing the CE model, the approach helps to consider related stakeholders and requirements for a reuse application example. The investigation aims to make a contribution to sustainable automotive development by focusing on extending the lifetime and utilization intensity of products.
