This paper introduces an innovative model designed to predict the optimal product prototype within framework of sustainable development. The takes into account both quality and environmental impact throughout entire life cycle product, with a specific focus on light electric vehicles. By incorporating customer expectations using Weighted Sum Model, assesses vehicle based importance various criteria. Employing evaluations guided by Pareto-Lorenz rule, for prototypes is modeled. resulting Quality-Environmental Indicator LCA (QLCA) facilitates qualitative analysis, aiding in selection that align expectations. proves effectivein guiding decisions related development, providing comprehensive approach evaluating value. Notable contributions scientific community include introduction QLCA model, which integrates assessments, underscores significance open innovation, sensitivity analysis organizational adaptation. Future research directions involve adapting larger samples, exploring production costs, assessing its applicability across diverse industries contexts enhance universality practical implications.
