Disposal of old trucks
The disposal of old trucks is regulated in
directive 2000/53/EC from the European
Parliament and Council.
We therefore recommend having this work
carried out in an approved recycling plant. If

you must obtain approval from the relevant
authorities as per articles 9, 10 and 11 of
directive 75/442/EEC.
In addition, the following minimum require-
ments must be observed:

ucks are stored
