E.L.V and what it means

New legislation means that the collection and disposal of abandoned or hazardous vehicles is changing fast. Legislation is driving the change towards a new professionalism within the industry. This change is multi-agency, having profound implications for everyone involved in the disposal of vehicles. That is why an understanding of the new legislative environment is important. The End-of-Life Vehicles (ELVs) Directive (2000/53/EC) passed into European law in October 2000. It is concerned with cars, vans, and certain three wheeled vehicles.
