Abstract: Various uncertainties exist in the End-of-Life Vehicle (ELV) industry, which further complicates the ELV business’s growth. In order to pursue greater progress in the ELV business establishment, a comprehensive analysis of previous ELV studies with regard to the supply chain uncertainty perspective is essential. The objective of this study is aimed at categorising the existing supply chain uncertainty sources according to their end-of-life (EoL) strategies, identify the management approaches adopted to analyse the prominent research trends, and conduct a regional analysis of ELV supply chain studies for the past years, from 2016 until 2022. The content analysis method was used to extract all the essential information from previous research, and an analysis was performed to obtain the latest research trends and identify the relationship between the gathered data. The findings show that the past research focuses on three main supply chain uncertainties, namely, uncertainty in logistics and network facilities (31.8%), production and operations (30.7%), and environmental (25.0%). Furthermore, the regional analysis shows that 83% of the studies were conducted in developing countries over the past years. Lastly, several research gaps were presented to provide researchers with potential directions and the way forward to explore ELV supply chain research from the uncertainty management context.
