| (b) measures contributing to the development of recycling technologies for materials used in vehicles, for which such technologies are not widely available at commercial scale at the moment of submission of application for type-approval; | (b) measures contributing to the development of recycling technologies in cooperation with waste management operators and/or research institutes for materials and components used in vehicles, for which such technologies are not available at laboratory scale at the moment of submission of application for type-approval; |
At type approval, it is too early to define recycling measures for technologies not yet commercially available, as vehicles will be recycled only after 15+ years. For example, traction battery recycling began developing after EVs entered the market, but industrial scale is only feasible once sufficient vehicles reach end-of-life. UN R133 requires processes to be based on proven technology, at least tested on a laboratory scale.

| (c) the monitoring on how parts, components and materials contained in vehicles belonging to the vehicle type are reused, recycled and recovered in practice; | deleted |
ELVs are processed by waste operators over 15 years after type approval, making real-time monitoring unfeasible. There is no global system to track all parts and materials, and waste streams mix after shredding, preventing traceability.

| (e) measures to promote the reuse of parts and components. | deleted |
Measures are already in place to encourage OEMs to promote the reuse of parts and components, particularly through the availability of second-hand spare parts for repairing older vehicles at lower costs. Insurance companies can further support this initiative by offering reduced premiums to customers who opt for repairs using certified used parts.

| (d) changes in the use of recycled materials in new vehicles, remanufactured or refurbished parts and components in vehicles and of compatibility of parts and components from other types of vehicles; and | |
| (e) changes in the use of substances referred to in Article 5 in new vehicles. |
The purpose of these detailed requirements, the intended recipients of the information, and its intended use remain unclear—for example, the term “high quality recycling” is not defined. The associated bureaucratic effort is expected to be extremely high, placing a significant burden on both industry and regulatory authorities. Again, this added complexity does not appear to offer any tangible environmental benefits.

The ecological benefits of dismantling vehicle glass at end-of-life are unproven. The process is labor-intensive, carries a high risk of injury, and demands exceptionally clean methods, as recyclers accept only 3 ppm (g/t) of contamination. Additionally, transport-related environmental costs are significant due to the limited number of glass recyclers in Europe, requiring long-distance shipments.

Glass roof tops or parts of the roof are also fit for dismantling and recycling and should be added to the list. Without dismantling, end-of-life automotive glass is not usable for recycling. The shredding process contaminates the glass too much and renders it unusable for valuable recycling processes. Once shredded, it can only be severely down cycled. This is a waste of valuable resources and energy. Moreover, because adding glass cullet to recycling processes, lowers the amount of energy needed for glass production. Additionally, there are promising pilot projects for the recycling of the PVB fraction present in laminated glass of windshields.

Plastic containers, especially fuel tanks, are often heavily contaminated with fuel or other fluids, making recycling complex and resource-intensive. The environmental benefits of fuel tank recycling remain unproven, and no viable recycling industry exists. Mandatory dismantling is therefore unjustified unless spare parts are needed. Instead, authorised treatment facilities should determine whether dismantling is practical and worthwhile on a case-by-case basis.

The heat exchanger is located beneath the dashboard, positioned between the engine and passenger compartments, directly against the bulkhead. Removing it requires a complete dismantling of the dashboard. After shredding, its metal is separated for recycling. However, due to material fatigue and corrosion, its reuse potential is minimal.

Within existing reuse and remanufacturing operations, dismantlers extract parts for which there exists a market. The proposed deletions relate to parts and components for which the reuse market is very limited or simply does not exist. Mandatory removal of parts shall only apply if required by compelling safety reasons or when the subsequent shredding and post-shredding processes cannot extract and separate materials as efficiently as manual dismantling processes or semi-automated disassembly processes. As a guiding principle, the best available technology should be used for each recycling process. For engines and gearboxes, mandatory dismantling should be avoided unless there is a clear market demand for reclaimed materials. Instead, reuse or refurbishment should be prioritized.

Dismantling all printed circuit boards larger than 10 cm² is impractical. The metal content in vehicle electronics depends on function, making general disassembly recommendations unfeasible. As predicting metal content requires laboratory analysis, removal costs often exceed potential value. Moreover, printed circuit boards are not a significant source of strategic or precious metals, while dismantling 30–50 printed circuit boards per vehicle is highly labour-intensive due to ongoing miniaturisation.
