Stellantis Launches Unique Center In South America To Disassemble And Resell Parts, Expanding The Replacement Market And Reducing Environmental Impact

Stellantis, a market leader in Brazil and owner of brands such as Fiat, Jeep, Peugeot, Citroën, and Ram, announced a new step in the automotive sector. The company inaugurated on Thursday (14) in Osasco (SP) the Circular Autopeças, the first vehicle disassembly center of a manufacturer in South America.

The facility will disassemble parts from used cars and reintroduce them into the replacement market. The initiative is not limited to Stellantis models. During the visit, a Honda WR-V and a Chevrolet Onix were seen awaiting the process.

The parts will be resold through a dedicated website, on Mercado Livre, via WhatsApp, and also in a physical store at the same address as the warehouse.

Operation And Structure

The warehouse will receive test vehicles from Stellantis that would be destroyed as well as models purchased at insurance auctions.

This is the company’s second center in the world with this function, with the first located in Turin, Italy.

Currently, the inventory consists of 2,400 parts, but the goal is to reach 10,000. Among the available items are steering wheels, turn signal levers, radiators, wheels, headlights, taillights, alternators, turbines, electronic modules, and differential axles.

Each part will be photographed and listed on a digital platform. The investment to create Circular Autopeças was R$ 13 million, part of a R$ 32 billion investment announced in 2024. The capacity is to disassemble 8,000 vehicles per year, with plans to employ 150 people by 2027.

Sustainability And Reuse

The project aims to provide a better destination for vehicles after use. According to Stellantis, reconditioned parts generate up to 50% less CO₂ emissions compared to new ones.

In Brazil, about 2 million vehicles reach the end of their life cycle annually. However, only 1.5% receive proper disposal of their parts.

Process Steps

Only legalized vehicles can undergo the process. First, the car is scanned to check its history.

Next, fluids are removed during the decontamination process. Once this step is completed, the vehicle moves to three disassembly boxes.

The parts receive ratings from 0 to 9. Those rated between 0 and 4 are discarded and properly disposed of. Parts rated above 5 are prepared for sale, with prices proportional to their ratings.

According to Alexandre Aquino, vice president of circular economy at Stellantis, a part rated 9 is sold for about half the price of a new one. Parts with high ratings are in excellent condition.

Limitations And Possibilities Of The Disassembly Center

Safety parts cannot be reused and are designated for material separation. The engine can be sold in parts or as a whole.

Recyclability, according to Stellantis, is a factor that can make the vehicle eligible for IPI discounts in programs such as Sustainable Cars and Green IPI.

With Circular Autopeças, the company aims to combine economy, sustainability, and new opportunities in the automotive replacement market.

Que rodos fabricantes façam isso e acabem de vez com desmanches irregulares. Ótima iniciativa.

At just 14 years old, a boy creates a system without energy, using steel pipes buried in the ground, that irrigates seedlings with moisture from the air, to combat the water scarcity threatening reforestation in northern China.

Where there was only sand and wind at 40 degrees, China built a megacity of 500,000 inhabitants with farms, wineries, and universities in the middle of the desert using melted glacier water from hundreds of kilometers away.

At over 8,800 meters above sea level, the summit of Mount Everest is made up of rocks that originated at the bottom of an ocean about 500 million years ago and were pushed to the highest point on Earth by the collision of tectonic plates.

A couple builds a system to bring water from the spring to their land, climbs a hill with materials on their backs, and creates a simple, cheap, and sustainable solution to ensure their own water supply.

The end of total solar eclipses has a deadline: the Moon is moving away from the Earth at about 3.8 cm per year, and in approximately 600 million years, it will no longer completely cover the Sun, ending one of the rarest coincidences in the Solar System.

With 40% of all the gold on the planet buried in a single geological basin that is 2.7 billion years old in South Africa, the Witwatersrand still hides R$ 3 trillion in unreachable reserves.

In the depths of the African forest, these rare and terrifying native species dominate rivers, swamps, and treetops with venom, brute strength, lethal teeth, and behaviors that seem impossible in the heart of the wild.

Brazil blocked a proposal from the United States at the WTO that would make the exemption from tariffs on digital products like streaming and ebooks permanent, favoring American tech giants at the expense of developing countries.

Scientists caught a water vapor explosion on Mars exactly when it shouldn’t have happened: an unexpected dust storm launched the water to an altitude of 80 kilometers and accelerated the escape of hydrogen into space by 2.5 times.

The Brazilian Navy launched the NPa Mangaratiba (P-73) on April 27: a 54.2 m Macaé-class patrol vessel, with 43 crew members, 6 days of autonomy, and a range of 4,000 km to monitor the entire Blue Amazon.

Chinese scientists have identified 122 viable asteroids for large-scale asteroid mining and outlined the Tiangong Kaiwu plan to explore space water ice and metals throughout the Solar System by 2100.
