Stellantis said its circular economy subsidiary SUSTAINera recorded 51% growth in its reuse business in 2025 and plans to open a third vehicle dismantling center in a new region as the automaker expands its end-of-life vehicle recovery operations.
The company said the additional dismantling facility will complement existing sites in Turin, Italy, and São Paulo, Brazil, as part of its strategy to recover functional vehicle components for resale as original used parts.
SUSTAINera said growth in its reuse business was supported by strong performance from the B-Parts e-commerce platform in Europe and North America, where total inventory has surpassed 15 million used parts. Its repair business rose 48% from a year earlier, aided by an expansion of its high-voltage battery service network to 30 facilities worldwide.
The company also said more than 28,600 engines were remanufactured at its Circular Economy Hub in Italy during 2025, nearly triple the volume recorded in 2024.
In battery reuse, Stellantis said the amount of energy from end-of-life electric vehicle batteries sold to third parties for second-life applications increased more than fourfold in 2025 to 123,000 kilowatt-hours.
Through the Valorauto joint venture, the group achieved vehicle recycling and recovery rates of 89.9% and 97.7%, respectively, exceeding European regulatory standards, the company said.
“SUSTAINera’s Reuse offering provides a broad selection of original used parts for a practical, sustainable, and affordable alternative in the aftersales,” said Laurence Hansen, senior vice president of global circular economy at Stellantis. “These components can be up to 70% more affordable than new parts, while still ensuring reliability, quality, and full traceability.”
