Abstract

Automobiles that have reached the end of their useful lives and are now considered garbage are referred to as end-of-life vehicles (ELV). In addition, the materials and components that make up these things are considered to be garbage. Anything that have the intention of getting rid of, or are mandated to get rid of is considered waste. This includes materials that are being sent out to be recycled or reused. Because of the widespread use of vehicles around the globe, ELV have developed into a problem of global concern. However, there are currently very few nations and areas that have enacted regulations regarding ELV recycling. In contrast to countries such as Singapore, the European Union, Japan, Korea, China, and Taiwan, who have had ELV policies in place for some time now, the issue of ELV is not yet fully investigated in Malaysia. There is an urgent need to build a legal framework for the recycling of ELVs, in particular nations and areas where the number of people who own automobiles is quickly rising. This particular project discusses what is the perspective of ELV, the preferrable parts of ELV, and the factor analysis for perspective of ELV in Auto Service Workshop (ASW) in peninsular and non-peninsular Malaysia. The methodology used in this project are involved observation, interview, questionnaire, and checklist. The primary stage of this research is done with the pre-visiting and pre-observation process, questionnaire is given to the respondent who are the owner in auto service workshop. After all the questionnaire is collected, the analysis of survey is conducted which are reliability, correlation, and factor analysis. To have a better understanding, the result is summarised and illustrated in the form of graph, table, and picture. From the finding, ELV can provide a huge business line to ASW in peninsular Malaysia, whereas implement of ELV will bring more pros compared to cons for ASW in non-peninsular Malaysia. The preferable part in peninsular Malaysia is engine due to the high demand in there, whereas for the nonpeninsular Malaysia the preferable parts is vehicle battery. By the factor analysis, the 10 components of the perspective of ELV can be divided into three factors which are ELV concept, ELV business, and ELV management strategy. Knowledge about ELV may be broadly spread by the conduct of such studies. Many people, particularly in Malaysia, will be aware of the ELV in in order to preserve the natural environment in an appropriate manner. This research may offer readers with references, important insights, and possibilities, as well as a motivation to pay more attention to ELVs.
