ABSTRACT
Remanufacturing is a dynamically developing area of the automotive industry. It allows the original equipment manufactures to diversify their activities and sell manufacturer-warrantied subassemblies through a dealership network but at lower prices compared to new products. The paper presents the process of remanufacturing of automotive subassemblies and characterizes the benefits for the industry and vehicle end-users. Examples have been shown of the activities of vehicle manufacturers in the area of product recycling and development of remanufacturing technologies.
