Parts recovery
The sustainability-focused initiative of CESVIrecambios, the Authorized Treatment Center (CAT) of end-of-life vehicles CESVIMAP, a facility that has decontaminated 52,500 vehicles since its creation in 2004.
At the time of its birth, the facilities had 24,000 square meters of land and 7,000 square meters of construction and met the legal requirements for decontamination. At that time, the center became “the first installation at European level with such a degree of automation” for this activity.
Thanks to its work, CESVIrecambios has invested more than 1.5 million spare partsgiving them a second life and avoiding having to manufacture new parts.
