Abstract
Meeting the targets set out by the EU’s End of Life Vehicle (ELV) Directive is a challenge currently facing the automotive industry. In order to meet the requirements of this legislation, vehicles must be designed, manufactured and assembled giving consideration to their disposal. The reuse, recycling and recovery of ELV materials each have their own advantages and disadvantages, and are complicated by the wide range of metals, polymers and composites currently used in the manufacture of vehicles. Another option is the design of multifunctional components to reduce the number of end of life materials that need to be dealt with. Tools such as life cycle assessment (LCA) are available to evaluate the sustainability of a vehicle across the whole life cycle.
