摘要

The management of end-of-life vehicles (ELVs) in the automobile industry is a pressing issue due to their substantial impact on environmental pollution and resource scarcity. While the European Union successfully implemented the ELV Guidelines in 2000, Malaysia has not yet enacted such laws, indicating a slower pace of advancement compared to other industrialized nations. The study seeks to conduct a comprehensive analysis of ELV management in Malaysia, to identify the difficulties, opportunities, and gaps within this industry. The study employed a mixed-method approach, integrating a systematic literature survey with a cross-sectional survey of 630 Malaysian individuals. The findings indicate that the ELV management system is now in its nascent phase. The report offers specific suggestions for enhancing Malaysia’s ELV management infrastructure, including the enforcement of rules, the reinforcement of public awareness programs, and the establishment of recycling facilities. The research model employs structural equation modeling and is examined using the WarPLS 7.0 software package. It encompasses various variables, including recycling concepts, consumer knowledge, solid waste data, management strategies, budget concerns, attitudes, motivations, and preferences for behavioral change. This model accurately forecasts the dissemination of ELV policy in Malaysia by discerning meaningful correlations among these variables. As an illustration, the idea of recycling has a beneficial impact on attitude (β = 0.13, p < 0.001) and motivation (β = 0.17, p < 0.001). Consumer knowledge has a strong impact on attitude (β = 0.57, p < 0.001) and motivation (β = 0.50, p < 0.001). The results indicate a complete mediation effect: recycling concepts and consumer knowledge influence management strategies and budget concerns only through attitudes and motivations. In other words, without positive attitudes and strong motivation, knowledge and recycling concepts alone do not directly shape acceptance of ELV policies. The model compliance index validates the strength and reliability of the model, demonstrating its ability to appropriately portray public approval of the ELV policy. The findings of this study will be advantageous for policymakers, automobile manufacturers, and other parties involved in the ELV business in Malaysia and other emerging nations. These results will establish a basis for enhancing ELV management systems.
