The increase in public environmental awareness and demands for improving the state of the natural environment require designers and manufacturers of transport vehicles to take ecological requirements into account. The article presents the basic assumptions, implementation procedures, advantages, and limitations of the dismantling process for end-of-life transport vehicles.Until recently, research on the dismantling process mainly concerned dismantling as a process occurring in machine repair technological processes [1, 2], as well as in machine maintenance systems. However, recently, technological dismantling processes are perceived as processes that have a significant impact on environmental protection. The issue of dismantling used products is gradually becoming a field that is increasingly of interest to scientists and production process designers. This situation is the result of changes in the approach to environmental protection and the depletion of natural resources, as well as the application of an extended product life cycle. Governments of many countries are creating laws that force manufacturers to dispose of used, end-of-life products. (…)
