Abstract
A methodology of developing ELV dismantling catalogues was created by NSTU specialists under the project jointly with the GAZ Group. The main goal of this work was to create dismantle catalogues for the GAZ Group light commercial vehicles. At first stages the necessary information regarding the legislation acts which contain the requirements in this field were gathered and analyzed. After that a complex analysis of the vehicle construction was conducted in order to evaluate emplacement of components that were needed to be dismantled and to create the list of necessary equipment with taking into account applied fasteners, type of the vehicle and its category. At the next step an experimental disassembly of vehicles mentioned before was carried out that helped to gather necessary information regarding the methods and complexity of dismantling process, mass of dismantled components, accurate emplacement and number of fasteners. A graphic material that could be used in catalogues was created also. As the result of described process the dismantling catalogues and methodology of their developing were created.
KEYWORDS – end-of-life vehicles (ELV), vehicles dismantling catalogues, recyclability, material separation, experimental disassembly
