End of Life Vehicle (ELV) Management Ecosystems in Malaysia

Serious discussion on End of Life Vehicles (ELVs) in Malaysia began in 2006 when research on the development of the automotive industry was undertaken. The interest increased following the introduction of the National Automotive Policy (NAP) in 2009. This research paper describes ELVs from the perspective of industry players based on their direct experience and participation in the industry through comprehensive observation by looking at the practices of ELV management in Malaysia. This research paper will highlight the existence of some of the innate problems facing the ELV management in the country along with suggestions for approaches and solutions to enhance Malaysia’s potential as one of the most important industry players in the automotive segment in the Asian region.
