ARRANGEMENTS FOR DEALING WITH THE VEHICLE AT THE END OF ITS LIFE
Fiat has been committed for many years to safeguarding the environment through the constant improvement of its production
processes and manufacturing products that are increasingly compatible with the ecosystem.
To assure customers of the best possible service in terms of respecting environmental laws and in response to European
Directive 2000/53/EC governing vehicles at the end of their life, Fiat is offering their customers the opportunity of handing
over their vehicle* at the end of its life without incurring any additional costs.
The European Directive sets out that when the vehicle is handed over the last keeper or owner should not incur any expenses
as a result of its market value.
In particular, in almost all European Union countries, until 1st January 2007, vehicles registered after 1st July 2002 will be
collected free of charge, whilst from 2007 collection will be free of charge irrespective of the year of registration as long as the
vehicle contains its basic components (in particular, the engine and bodywork) and has no additional waste.
To hand your vehicle over at the end of its life without extra cost, contact one of our Fiat dealerships or authorised collection
and scrapping centres.
These centres have been carefully chosen to offer high quality service for the collection, treatment and recycling of unused
vehicles with respect to the environment.
You can find further information on these collection and scrapping centres either from a Fiat and Fiat Commercial Vehicle
Dealership or by calling the freephone number 00800 3428 0000 or on the Fiat website.
* Vehicle for transporting passengers with a maximum of nine seats with a total permitted weight of 3.5 t
