Existing automotive system is not sustainable, in terms of environment and global economic balance. The End of Life Vehicle Legislation introduced by the European Union is a producer responsibility directive that aims to ensure vehicle manufacturers take responsibility for both the disposal and, more importantly, the recovery of their vehicles. The book is concerned with investigating and concluding the following question: To What Extent Will End of Life Vehicle Legislation Affect Future Car Design? This covers the following sustainability related topics in depth: Context of the legislation, Eco-design, Life Cycle Assessment, Closed Loop, Design for Dis-assembly and Modularity, Producer Responsibility, and alternative ownership methodologies.
