| End-of-Life Vehicle Recycling |
End-of-life vehicles have the potential to release harmful substances into the environment
if they are not stored, treated and disposed of properly. As a result of concerns about the environmental and economic impacts of these vehicles, the European Union has adopted
the End of Life Vehicles (ELV) Directive (2000/52/EC). |
|
| Mahindra is committed to minimize the environmental impact of its vehicle and we have instituted special processes to ensure compliance with the European Union Directive 2005/64/EC. Our objective is to restrict the amount of waste produced from ELVs and increase the recovery and recycling of ELVs that arise. |

| Below is a list of European Export models for which RRR procedure has been performed and approval received. |

 |
| |
We follow the ISO 22628:2002, to calculate the recyclability rate, the recoverability rate and
the reusability rate (RRR) of our new road vehicles. |

| Looking ahead |
Sustainable mobility solutions are a key focus area for us and we will continue to aggressively pursue technology development in these areas. Some of the key thrust areas
in this direction are weight reduction by using alternate materials, designing modularity to take care of variants, VAVE (Value Analysis Value Engineering) approach for meeting environmental objectives along with cost pressures. |
