The manufacturing of automobiles is currently facing an increasing number of new challenges. This is a result of the recent significant increase in overall vehicle manufacturing, as well as an increase in energy costs and environmental obligations. This study attempts to evaluate how much renewable and environmentally friendly energy is used by automotive companies in the Western Region of Romania. The total or partial use of renewable energies is suggested through the implementation of geothermal heating-cooling systems, but also through the installation of photovoltaic panels, following research in the specialized literature and a comparative analysis to determine the level of carbon dioxide emitted in the atmosphere at the present time. The improvement solutions were determined by building a questionnaire using the SPSS software and sustainability reports data. The questionnaire helped us see the waste recovery, the interest in developing sustainable products and services, and how can they reduce their carbon footprint.

Abstract
The manufacturing of automobiles is currently facing an increasing number of new challenges. This is a result of the recent significant increase in overall vehicle manufacturing, as well as an increase in energy costs and environmental obligations. This study attempts to evaluate how much renewable and environmentally friendly energy is used by automotive companies in the Western Region of Romania. The total or partial use of renewable energies is suggested through the implementation of geothermal heating-cooling systems, but also through the installation of photovoltaic panels, following research in the specialized literature and a comparative analysis to determine the level of carbon dioxide emitted in the atmosphere at the present time. The improvement solutions were determined by building a questionnaire using the SPSS software and sustainability reports data. The questionnaire helped us see the waste recovery, the interest in developing sustainable products and services, and how can they reduce their carbon footprint.
