A future circularity-information record for vehicles covered by the EU end-of-life vehicles rules.
From 1 September 2032, the relevant EU vehicle-circularity regulation requires a passport for vehicles within its specified scope. It links information useful for repair, safe treatment and circularity; implementing rules will set detailed access conditions. The requirement is not for every vehicle category.
