Vehículos de segunda mano

This fact sheet from the Centro de Movilidad Sostenible discusses the environmental and safety impacts of the global trade in used light vehicles, highlighting the disproportionate burden on low- and middle-income countries and the need for stricter import regulations.

• Between 2015 and 2018, 14 million used light vehicles were exported globally. 80% of these exports went to low- and middle-income countries, with more than half of that volume destined for Africa.
• Used vehicle imports often fail to meet safety or emission requirements, contributing significantly to air pollution (specifically PM2.5 and NOx) and sector emissions. Countries with 'weak' or 'very weak' import regulations experience very high traffic accident mortality rates.
• The document advocates for harmonized quality standards and stricter import regulations to ensure fleets are cleaner and safer. It specifically notes that developed countries should stop exporting vehicles that fail environmental and safety inspections and are no longer fit for their own roads.
