Stellantis circular unit targets third dismantling centre

Stellantis’ circular economy subsidiary SUSTAINera has reported 51% growth in its reuse business in 2025 and announced a forthcoming third vehicle dismantling centre in a new region, following existing facilities in Turin, Italy and São Paulo, Brazil. The expansion supports the group’s end-of-life vehicle (ELV) strategy, which targets recovery of functional components for resale as original used parts.

SUSTAINera’s reuse growth was driven by strong performance on the B-Parts e-commerce platform across Europe and North America, where combined inventory now exceeds 15 million used parts. The subsidiary’s repair business grew 48% year on year, supported by a high-voltage battery service network expanded to 30 facilities globally. More than 28,600 engines were remanufactured at SUSTAINera’s Circular Economy Hub in Italy, nearly three times the 2024 volume.

In the field of end-of-life high-voltage batteries, the volume of energy from EV batteries sold to third parties for second-life applications grew more than fourfold in 2025, reaching 123,000 kW/h. Operations through the Valorauto joint venture achieved vehicle recycling and recovery rates of 89.9% and 97.7% respectively, both above European standards.

In a statement, Laurence Hansen, Senior Vice President of Global Circular Economy, said: “SUSTAINera’s Reuse offering provides a broad selection of original used parts for a practical, sustainable, and affordable alternative in the aftersales. These components can be up to 70% more affordable than new parts, while still ensuring reliability, quality, and full traceability.”
