Highlights included; a presentation from Artemis Hatzi-Hull, who has responsibility for ELVs at the European Commission discussing the review of the ELV Directive, and the live demonstration area, which saw vehicles being processed in a live environment.

With more visitors and exhibiting companies in attendance than ever before, CARS really is the industry meeting place for vehicle dismantlers and recyclers. Looking ahead, we have identified some new opportunities and we’re excited about the potential for the next event in 2020”.
