Land Rover 'Takeback' Network
Earlier this year Ford was the first manufacturer to announce a comprehensive plan to meet ELV legislation and it is now also the first company in the automotive sector to establish ´takeback´ points in all four countries of the United Kingdom.

Working in partnership with Cartakeback Limited, Ford´s newly-appointed sites will provide customers of the Ford group brands sold in the UK – Ford, Jaguar, Land Rover, Volvo, Aston Martin and Mazda – with a free ´takeback´ service for all ELVs from January 1, 2007.

From that date the ELV directive will require motor vehicle manufacturers and importers to:
ˇ Take back vehicles – regardless of the date of a vehicle´s first registration - that they put on the market at the end of their life ensuring that they are treated in an environmentally responsible manner.
ˇ Meet recycling and recovery targets of 85 percent by weight in 2006. This service will be available to the last owners of all Ford group brands qualifying vehicles that have reached the end of their lives when presented at a Ford-appointed facility.

All the Ford contracted sites are fully licensed by the Environment Agency as authorised treatment facilities. They also meet additional Ford professional quality standards for the receipt, treatment and recovery of end of life vehicles and have been appointed with immediate effect.
