EN1

Total materials use other than water, by type

22

Please see our Material Balance

EN2

Percentage of materials used that are wastes from sources external to the reporting organisation

14

The usage of wastes as materials coming from external sources is not applied at DMHU.

EN3

Direct energy use segmented by primary source

14

DMHU does not directly use any of the listed primary energy sources.

EN4

Indirect energy use

14

The total amount of the energy needed is procured from external sources. The sum of electricity used at DMHU all the year 2005 amounts to 47,806 MWh. On the basis of the fuel consumption data of our electricity provider we calculated the quantity of each primary energy source consumed by using electricity. The conversion factors have been given by the electricity provider:

  • Brown coil: 1 kt = 9.75 TJ
  • Black coil: 1 kt = 10.99 TJ
  • Lignite: 1 kt = 6.75 TJ
  • Oil: 1 kt = 40.34 TJ
  • Natural gas: 1 billion m3 = 30.84 TJ
  • Nuclear energy: no conversion possible
  • Biomass: no conversion factor available

EN6

Location and size of land owned, leased, or managed in biodiversity-rich habitats

15

The land owned by DMHU is not located in a biodiversity-rich habitat. The property of DMHU is situated in an industrial area, in specific in the Sóstó Industrial Park Székesfehérvár, with other residing manufacturing enterprises.

EN7

Description of the major impacts on biodiversity associated with activities and/or products and services in terrestrial, freshwater, and marine environments

15

There are no major impacts on the terrestrial, freshwater, and marine environment generated by the activities or products of DMHU. However, during the transportation of the components from Denso Japan to DMHU by ship, impacts on the marine environment are created. Furthermore, the application of our parts collection system from our suppliers by truck causes major impacts on the terrestrial environment, compared to our further activities.

EN12 G3

Location and size of land owned, leased, or managed in, or adjacent to, protected areas

15

The property and its production facilities of DMHU with a total size of 210,800 m2 are located close to a terrestrial nature reserve. The DMHU land is not adjacent to the protected area but the industrial park with about 20 companies, including our company, is located in its neighbourhood. This reserve is protected by a national legislation since 1996.

EN12

Significant discharges to water by type

15

In the material balance, all significant discharges to water like chemicals are listed. But it needs to be mentioned that none of the discharges reach the ground water or any other waters, they all receive treatment prior to their release. None polluted water was discharged into the water.

EN13

Significant spills of chemicals, oils and fuels in terms of total number and total volume

15

There were no significant spills of chemicals, oils and fuels in the year 2005.

EN14

Significant environmental impacts of principal products and services

15

The products fabricated at the DMHU site are automotive components in particular power train control systems. Thus, during its use it can not create any specific impacts on its own. However, as a part of the drive system and hence of a car it has especially a stake in CO2 emissions. Regarding the impacts of the manufacturing of our products we have undertaken a LCA for the Common Rail System and we plan a LCA for the System Control Components (SCC products) in 2006. For further information regarding the LCA studies please see page 8/9.

EN15

Percentage of the weight of products sold that is reclaimable at the end of the products’ useful and percentage that is actually reclaimed

15

Regarding the Common Rail System a study about its recyclability was carried out by the Denso Corporation Japan. The result confirmed that 100% of this product is recyclable. In respect to the System Control Components (SCC products) unfortunately no data is on hand yet. Moreover, we have no data about the actually reclaimed products.

EN16

Incidents of, and fines for non-compliance with all applicable international declarations/conventions/treaties, and national, sub-national, regional, and local regulations associated with environmental issues

15

In 2005 the local Environmental Authority decreed to impose a punishment on DMHU since the waste supplier company has not been authorized by use. Furthermore, we are committed to correct and improve the scrap handling. DMHU has appealed against the decision, the judgment was delivered only at the beginning of 2006 and we had to pay a fine of 1,025,000 HUF.
