Recital 40

(40) In order to ensure that manufacturers of passenger cars and light commercial vehicles put in place actions to ensure that they meet the circularity requirements under this Regulation, and to incentivise them to improve the circularity of the vehicles, they should draw up a comprehensive circularity strategy. The circularity strategy should be prepared at the manufacturer level and updated every five years. A copy should be provided to the type-approval authorities as well as to the Commission. Although provided to the type-approval authorities, the circularity strategy should not be linked to the type-approval process. To ensure broader oversight and scrutiny, the Commission should make the manufacturers’ circularity strategies, as well as their updated versions, publicly available, with due regard to the safeguarding of any confidential information. The Commission should prepare and publish, at least every six years, a report on the circularity of the automotive sector based on, among other information, the circularity strategies provided by the manufacturers.
