Environment - circular economy
- Eco-design applied to vehicles and batteries: this enables frugal use of rare materials, the integration of recycled materials, the predisposition of vehicles for their dismantling and recycling at the end of their life.
- Projects aimed at developing technical solutions and industrial channels for collecting, reusing, renovating and recycling parts and materials.
