During 2017, a total of 51,461 End of Life Vehicles (ELV) were delivered to VALORCAR NETWORK's ATFs, a figure that represents an increase of 14.3% over 2016.
The average age of the vehicle, which is now 21.4 years old, continues to rise, reflecting the aging of the national car fleet. Opel Corsa was the model with more units delivered for end of life, reaching about 8.2% of the total volume, followed by Renault Clio and Fiat Punto.
2017 was also the best year ever in terms of ELV materials reuse results, with a reuse / recycling rate of 87.2% and a re-use / recovery rate of 95.9% (average reused weight of each ELV). Thus the reuse / recycling (85%) and re-use / recovery (95%) targets set out in Community legislation for the post 2015 period were largely exceeded.
