Publication metadata
Vehicles of ‘unknown whereabouts’ are vehicles that are deregistered but without a Certificate of Destruction (CoD) issued or available to the authorities and also with no information available indicating that the vehicle has been treated in an ATF or has been exported. It is known from previous studies that the number of vehicles of unknown whereabouts is about 3 to 4 million vehicles per year, compared to around 6 to 7 million ELVs treated in compliance with the ELV Directive and reported to Eurostat. The Commission has received complaints that raise concerns as to the environmental impact of vehicles of unknown whereabouts as well as in relation to distortions of the fair business practices for the commercial ELV management across Europe.
