As part of its decarbonization strategy and commitment to sustainability, Stellantis inaugurated its first Vehicle Dismantling Center in Osasco (São Paulo, Brazil). With this pioneering initiative in the automotive sector, the Company will become the first automaker in South America to invest in a dedicated facility for the dismantling of end-of-life or damaged vehicles.
In addition to promoting a more sustainable consumption model, the project is part of Stellantis’ global Circular Economy plan. With the capacity to dismantle up to 8,000 vehicles per year, the new center focuses on automotive recycling and parts reuse, aiming to extend the lifespan of components and significantly reduce environmental impact.
Used parts in optimal condition, recovered from dismantled vehicles, will be available for sale to end consumers through both physical and digital channels. In Osasco (SP), customers will be served at the physical store located at the Dismantling Center, set up inside a dedicated sales container that has also been reused. Online, the components will be sold through the Circular AutoPeças store on Mercado Livre (an e-commerce and marketplace platform in Latin America) and soon, via a proprietary e-commerce platform. All sales comply with Detran’s (local vehicle authority) traceability and safety standards, ensuring legal compliance and parts in excellent working condition, with verified quality and origin by Stellantis, and follow all applicable laws and regulations set by local authorities.
The Circular AutoPeças Vehicle Dismantling Center in São Paulo is part of Stellantis’ Circular Economy industrial expansion in South America operating through different locations in Brazil, aiming to create an eco-system of activities, being the first OEM implementing facilities dedicated to the circular economy focused on sustainability and innovation.
The goal is to extend the lifespan of products, reduce environmental impact, and promote a more conscious consumption model. Another part of this ecosystem is the Vehicle Reconditioning Center inaugurated in 2024 at Stellantis Betim (Minas Gerais, Brazil) plant — a specialized workshop dedicated to restoring and revitalizing vehicles, bringing cars back to the market in conditions equivalent to those of a certified pre-owned vehicle by Stellantis.
