Take-back of end-of-life vehicles. Coming full circle. At the end of its long life, you can return your
Vito to us for environmentally-friendly disposal in accordance with the EC End-Of-Life Vehicle
Directive. But that day lies a long way off.
The take-back of end-of-life vehicles applies in accordance with national regulations to vehicles
up to 3.5 tonnes gross weight. The Vito has met the requirements governing the suitability
of a vehicle's design for reuse and recycling for a number of years now. A network of vehicle
take-back depots and dismantlers has been established which will process your vehicle in an
environmentally-friendly manner. The ways in which both vehicles and parts can be recovered are
subject to ongoing development and improvement. Consequently, the Vito will be able to comply
with any future increases in the recycling quota within the stipulated time limits.
