Vehicle disassembly / component diagnostics / benchmark study

We disassemble vehicles with maximum flexibility and according to customer requirements. If required, we can take the vehicle apart right down to the very last screw for subsequent analysis and component diagnostics. In addition, we provide benchmark studies. The components can then be disposed of by our waste disposal companies in accordance with the regulations.

Endurance test vehicles or prototypes and their components require special security measures to protect them – also during their waste disposal process. For that reason, a specialized and experienced team at Bertrandt takes care of this at three sites in Germany – whether it involves recovering used parts or the complete destruction of the vehicles.
