The Automotive Industry is making substantial investments toward the development of reliable alternatives to the traditional Internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles. The most promising appear to be the electric vehicles (EVs), having a much lower environmental impact during their life-cycle. This market shift is expected to keep gaining momentum, as the regulatory authorities and the national governments invest and incentivise it to reach the long-term goals of mitigating the climate change causes and effects, and to gradually decommission the ICEs, starting with a scheduled production ban in 2035 in the whole EU. Moreover, one of the primary objectives of the UN Agenda 2030 is to reduce industrial waste and to shift to a production paradigm focused on recycling what has already been proven to be reliable.
