摘要

End-of-life vehicle (ELV) management remains underdeveloped in Malaysia, where the absence of a comprehensive policy has contributed to the rising Number of Abandoned Vehicles (AV), particularly in urban areas such as the Klang Valley. Malaysia also lacks a functioning, scalable Electric Vehicle (EV) battery recycling system due to weak laws, limited collection and processing capacity, fragmented stakeholders, and insufficient technical expertise, further undermining the sustainability of national ELV management. This study is the first in Malaysia to apply Governance Network Theory (GNT) to ELV governance, integrating institutional, collaborative, and technological perspectives relevant to local government operations. The study employed a phenomenological qualitative design and conducted semi-structured interviews with 27 informants from local governments, state and federal agencies, industry stakeholders, and Authorized Automotive Treatment Facilities (AATFs). Thematic analysis identified five governance dimensions: Enhanced ELV Governance Enforcement, Fostering Collaborative Strategy, Institutional Engagement, Optimal Resource Management, and Technological Solutions. The study proposes a GNT-based operational roadmap to guide the phased implementation of ELV policy. By offering a grounded, multi-stakeholder perspective, this research provides novel insights into the ELV literature in Malaysia and offers actionable strategies for policymakers to reduce AV prevalence, enhance local government capacity, and align practices with global sustainability standards.
