Scrap cars are running at full speed

Erwan Benezet April 27, 2019 LeParisien. Fr

The success of the conversion premium boosted the scrap yards business by 30%. Report to Romorantin (Loir-et-Cher), in one of the largest in France.

Smoke, a deafening din, puddles of oil on the ground and carcasses piling up in the corners? Forget the traditional image that we have of car breakage. Today, it's more: dismantling robots, computer tracing, reuse and recycling, all in impressive calm. As on the Re-Source site, property of the recycler Indra (380 approved centers in France), in the suburbs of Romorantin (Loir-et-Cher). Besides, do not speak more of breakage, but rather of center for "End of life vehicle" (ELV).

Like the 1700 centers that share the market in France, Re-Source saw its activity jump with the success of the conversion premium. "As the site is not expandable, and we do not have the right to stack vehicles on top of each other, says Nicolas Paquet, one of the managers of Re-Source, we had to work out to make room. The width of the aisles was reduced, and the cars tightened against each other. Not enough ? Steps have therefore been taken to accelerate the pace. "Our 33 employees treat up to 5000 vehicles per year," says the manager. What makes our site one of the most important in France. "

A center every 50 km

Vehicles come from insurance companies, dealerships and individuals who drop them off for free. The regulations indeed impose a network of ELV centers at maximum every 50 km, in order to encourage the reprocessing of cars at the end of their life.

But what becomes of these vehicles once stored on site? Take the example of this Renault diesel Laguna. A barcode has been assigned to her, a computer identity card which will follow her throughout her journey. First step: expertise. This involves identifying all the parts - bodywork, upholstery, optics, glazing, etc. - which, once refurbished, may be sold second-hand.

And let's go for a striptease in order! Placed on a cart, our Laguna passes through the expert hands of six operators. Everyone has a very specific mission, and no more than 15 minutes to complete it. De-pollution first. Here a hole is drilled in a tank; there, it is a pipe that is cut; or a bolt that is loose. The car empties of all its fluids: fuel of course, brake fluids, coolants, windscreen washer, engine and gearbox oils, air conditioning gas, and even on this model, the fluid from the hydraulic power steering.

"Revalue at least 95% of the total mass of end-of-life vehicles"

The catalytic converter is carefully set aside. The few micrograms of rare earths it contains (rhodium, palladium, etc.) are easily sold for several tens of euros on the market. Delicate moment: the extraction of the engine. The car is tilted on its left side by means of a huge lever, and the 200 kg of the engine are extracted in a jiffy. In good condition, it can be sent for export to replace a defective motor, or be a supplier of spare parts. A buoyant market that generates around € 450 million per year, or 4% of the global spare parts market. Re-Source has itself developed a store for direct resale of these parts on the site, intended for individuals.

"In the end, European regulations oblige to revalue at least 95% of the total mass of end-of-life vehicles," recalls Loïc Bey Rozet, the managing director of Indra. Either by reconditioning certain parts, or by recycling the material. The 5% will be sent to dedicated centers all over France to be buried… underground.

That is what is being discussed

The adverbial phrase in a jiffy (written also in the past) means doing something very quickly, namely in a jiffy. Tournemain is the aged form of tour de main. The expression appeared around 1640, clearly evoking: in the time it takes to turn your hand (hand turner). Be careful, having a knack means dexterity, skill, know-how! For example: this illusionist has quite a knack, he made the bird disappear in a jiffy / in a jiffy under his scarf and we only saw fire! This potter is an artist, what a knack he has to create his works! Regarding historical origin, the expression in a jiffy appeared in the middle of the XNUMXth century and was replaced by in a jiffy in the middle of the XNUMXth century. Better to use in a jiffy, the use of turn of the day having become a little obsolete, except in the literary field according to the stylistic context.
