Managing end-of-life vehicle networks: a longitudinal case of the UK

International Journal of Automotive Technology and Management, 2007, vol. 7, issue 4, 356-370

Abstract: This research outlines the development of end-of-life vehicle network management in the UK from the early 1990s to mid-2006. The paper critically appraises the developments over a decade-and-a-half from the development of a voluntary scheme to a legislated regime for recovering end-of-life vehicles with the goal of reducing landfill waste. The research assesses the management implications (economic implications and industrial responses) of a voluntary vs. legislated approach, with regard to legitimacy and competitiveness drivers within vehicle manufacturers and service providers (vehicle dismantlers).

Keywords: end-of-life vehicles; ELVs; strategy; case study; UK; United Kingdom; ELV networks; vehicle recovery; voluntary approach; legislation approach; management; automotive recycling; environmental impact. (search for similar items in EconPapers)
