it becomes painful this negative and pessimistic spirit.
Things are really changing.
Positive a little
On the whole you are right ...
Nevertheless in this sector, it will be very difficult to "positively" (well it depends for whom, profits and increases and who change hands)
So it's not stupid to take the reflection a little further, see a little

It's already the end of car scraps in my area. After having seriously regulated them (circumscribing various pollution, directives to reduce the infiltration of pollutants into the soil, etc.) it is now the insurance companies which have "stolen" (confiscated) the "market" at the source. In fact, the carcasses of damaged vehicles are no longer broken up as in the past, they are sold directly on the web (there are no small profits ...).
https://www.axa-winterthur.ch/fr/entrep ... fault.aspxOnly vehicles at the end of their life that are already very old and no longer interest many people are left for breakages, so they no longer rent out large areas of land to store them, because it is no longer profitable. Ditto for recycling plants which de facto no longer have "interesting" vehicles (I mean sufficiently recoverable and economically profitable:
my guess... so I doubt that such factories exist, the carcasses rather go to the countries of the East or to Africa amha)
One of the reasons is simple and logical, only a mechanic could have the installation codes for electrical parts in a future that has already begun. At Peugeot for example, for all "connected" parts, the code must be entered into the on-board computer the same day it is received! And this has been the case for almost ten years for certain parts!
Another (although pure speculation on my part) it is much more interesting for manufacturers to remove a vehicle as "
potential deposit of spare parts"for the" private ", because the fact of making painful the search for parts inciting more and more to have to go through a mechanic (and more and more often), drastically increases the costs of maintenance / repair, and that pushes de facto to buy a new vehicle (since it is necessary more than ever to think twice before repairing ...).
Finally there are antagonisms, such as precisely freeing consumers from the yoke of manufacturers (obligation to take OBD diagnostics, then OBD2 with standard connectors) and them to try to make the ODB inoperative by making the industry more complex so as to "discourage bold". Today if you want an OBD interface that holds up, a graphics tablet is no longer enough, you need a model at € 30 (a real scandal and blackmail) It's a hell of a vicious circle.
