Increasing the percentage of recycled and recyclable materials in our vehicles starts at the very beginning by choosing the right materials and designing our products in a way that allows efficient dismantling and recycling at the end of their life. We are therefore looking for solutions that optimize our product design and increase the automation rate in the dismantling process, using robotics and intelligent sorting solutions.

We are looking for solutions that can help us increase our vehicles’ recycling rate.

"Innovative dismantling technologies and recycling technologies are key to recovering materials after the end-of-life phase. Once you are able to recover materials and increase the quality of those in economical ways, you're able to bring resources back into production and become circular."
