A book on recycling of automobiles upon completion of their lifetime service has been released here.
The book “Recycling of End of Life Automobiles - With Special Focus on India and Developing Nations” was released by Celeris Technologies, Chairman, Sumantran and the first copy was received by Transport Commissioner, C Samayamoorthy at a function here, recently, a press release said.
TVS Motor sponsored the book penned by former president of the company and retired captain N S Mohan Ram.
It offers a comprehensive account of the automobile recycling systems in developed country vis-a-vis the current scenario in developing nations.
The book also presents a future roadmap for the country.
“India is currently the world’s largest manufacturer of two wheelers and fourth largest in production of cars. It is well on the way to meet the automotive mission plan 2016-26 of tripling output within a decade”, Ram said.
“The informal industry for scrapping old vehicles, located in crowded residential areas, have neither the capacity nor the capability to tackle the huge increase in end-of-life vehicles which will be generated in near future,” he added.
Ram, a full time consultant with TVS Motor has headed the industry panel in the Society of Indian Automotive Manufacturers from its inception, the release said.
