During 2018, a total of 77,565 End of Life Vehicles (ELV) were delivered to VALORCAR NETWORK's ATFs, a figure that represents an increase of 50.7% over 2017.
The average age of the vehicle, which is now 21.6 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.
2018 was also one of the best years ever in terms of ELV materials reuse results, with a reuse / recycling rate of 87.0% and a reuse / recovery rate of 96.0% (average reused weight of each ELV). Thus the reuse / recycling (85%) and reuse / recovery (95%) targets set out in Community legislation were largely exceeded.
