Metals represent about the 60-70% of vehicles weight. At the End of Life, after the disassembly of dangerous and some re-usable and recyclable parts, metals are scrapped and melted, with significant energy consumption. Innovative cold-reforming and joining technologies, coupled with systems to retrieve material information, can allow a second life before melting through remanufacturing. This would open the way to new circular business models in automotive providing added-value to customers as well as new market opportunities for OEMs. This paper investigates the potential of these approaches, as the results of the European H2020 "CarE-Service" project.
