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 would like to carry out this work yourself,
you must obtain approval from the relevant
authorities as per articles 9, 10 and 11 of
directive 75/442/EEC.
The following minimum requi
rements must
also be observed:
• The locations in which old trucks are stored
before treatment must be areas suited to
this task with impervious surfaces. These
areas are also to be equipped with collection
devices and separators for leaking fluids
and degreasing cleaning materials
• The locations for treatment must be areas
suited to this task with impervious surfaces.
These areas are also to be equipped with
collection devices and separators for
leaking fluids and degreasing cleaning

available for disassembled and partially

including fire protection measures. Suitable
storage tanks for fluids such as fuel, engine
oil, hydraulic oil, coolant and fluids from
air conditioning systems must also be
provided.
• In order to dispose of harmful substances
from the old trucks, the batteries and LPG
