Introduction
All LEVC vehicles comply with the latest European directive of End of Life Vehicles (ELVs)
(2000/53/EC).
When the vehicle is at the end of its life we must make sure that we complete the disposal,
recovery and recyclability with minimal effect on the environment.
LEVC vehicles use many components made from recycled material. LEVC's policy to increase
the use of these materials will make sure that the effect of our vehicles on the environment is
minimum and will continue to decrease.
To decrease our effect on the environment more, LEVC works together with a network of "take
back" and Authorized Treatment Facilities (ATFs).
This procedure will make sure that we keep and improve all of our re-use, recovery and
recycling data.
NOTE
Contact LEVC for the recommended Authorized Treatment Facilities (ATFs).
The ATF will take back at no cost, from the owner or keeper shown on the vehicle log book an
LEVC vehicle that qualifies.
A qualifying vehicle is legally defined as shown:
– The vehicle must be delivered to a manufacturer or importer approved free "take back"
facility.
– The vehicle must be complete, containing all of the essential components of the vehicle
including the high voltage battery, electric rear axle drive and final drive, engine, coachwork,
wheels and catalytic converter.
– The vehicle must not have any more waste inside, for example garden/household waste,
additional tyres etc.
All contracted ATF partner sites are in full compliance with the Department of the Environment,
Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA) standards and are approved and licensed by the
Environmental Agency. Only modern approved recycling equipment is in use on contracted
sites.
The ATF will use a computer connection to the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA)
and will de-register the vehicle. The owner or keeper of the vehicle ceases to be responsible for
it when ATF de-register it from the DVLA. The DVLA will issue a Certificate of Disposal (COD).
