“…Malaysia has the third-highest automobile production rate in the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), behind Thailand and Indonesia, according to the Organization Internationale des Constructeurs d'Automobiles (OICA). Since the founding of PROTON in 1985 and PERODUA in 1993, the automobile sector in Malaysia has developed; this is a visible manifestation of the Malaysian government's national vehicle initiative ( 1 ).…”

Effective management of end-of-life vehicles (ELVs) represents a sound strategy to mitigate global climate change. ELVs are contaminants that pollute water, air, soil, and landscape. This waste flow must be adequately treated, but no proper rule oversees the disposal of ELV waste in Malaysia. This study aims to determine the extent of implementing the ELV policy and the social readiness in implementing environmentally friendly ELV disposal in Malaysia. The questionnaire seeks public input on critical ELV concerns such as public perception of the phenomena, environmental and safety standards, and recycling and treatment facilities. This research uses a cross-sectional design with 448 respondents in the survey. Fit models in structural equation modeling are evaluated using a variety of goodness-of-fit indicators to ensure an actual hypothesis. This study's advantages include the availability of representative samples and allowing for comparable and generalizable conclusions to larger communities throughout Malaysia. It is found that personal experience is significantly correlated with social readiness. The cause of ELV vehicles knowledge was the vital mediator, along with recycling costs knowledge. Thus, knowledge regarding ELV management costs is the most decisive mediation variable to predict public acceptance. The recommended strategy to reduce resentment and rejection of ELV policy is to disseminate information about the negative ELV impact on environmental and social sustainability.

“…Currently, the Ministry of International Trade and Industry (MITI) noted that 2.7 million passenger vehicles aged 10 years and over are on the road. This number is very worrying because it will greatly impact the environment, as well as the safety of vehicle users on the road (Kassim et al, 2020).…”

The issue of end-of-life vehicles (ELV) in Malaysia has recently received serious attention from the government. The Malaysian government has launched various programs to reduce the number of ELVs that have not been adequately managed. Initiatives like offering rewards to those who want to turn up their damaged vehicles are similar to An effort to trade in their old automobiles. However, it was unsuccessful due to a lack of cooperation from Malaysians. This study examines the sociological aspects of community acceptance of ELV legislation in Malaysia. This study assesses community knowledge, attitudes, and readiness to implement ELV management in Malaysia. Six hundred thirty people participated in a cross-sectional survey performed across Malaysian states (Pulau Pinang, Kelantan, Johor, Melaka, Selangor, and Kuala Lumpur). A collection of questions was distributed face-to-face after satisfying the steps of validity and reliability tests. Then descriptive and multiple regression tests were run to determine correlations between variables. We use the structural equation model to determine the model in this research. The study’s findings revealed that people’s knowledge, attitudes, and readiness toward ELV policies were significantly influenced by their length of stay, level of education, and vehicle ownership (overall R2 = 0.663, VIF = 1,612, p = 0.000). It was also discovered that knowledge and attitude together could determine community readiness in implementing ELV policies in Malaysia. The findings of this study demonstrate how important it is for the government to consider the populace’s knowledge and attitudes before implementing the ELV policy in Malaysia.

“…However, there is lack of discussion on sustainable ELV development from the other relevant industry players. ELV initiative must be started to improve the safety features plans to minimize the risk of fatal road accidents [ 25 ]; however, there is lack of discussion on the safety standard in ELV with regards to SM elements and policy.…”

“…However, the ELV policy is still not in place in Malaysia’s automotive environment [ 86 ]. The public acceptance of ELV policy enactment from a vehicle safety viewpoint is essential, considering the consumers’ economic implications [ 25 ]. Therefore, the implementation of the ELV policy in Malaysia needs to be thoroughly explored to assure that the public can buy-in early and effectively embrace it.…”

“…A preliminary review on implementing an efficient CLSC system for ELV recycling suggested that future similar research can focus explicitly on the ELV remanufacturing aspects from different viewpoints in Malaysia in line with the NRP [ 24 ]. Manufacturers are permitted to use whichever techniques they like due to the lack of a clearly defined ELV policy [ 25 ]. Hence, the standard remanufacturing process as part of ELV recovery practice in Malaysia could not be immediately put into progressive action.…”

The end-of-life vehicles (ELV) issue has become an essential topic in the fast-growing automotive industry. This study utilizes comprehensive content analysis to critically review the recent ELV research developments and underpinning issues in Malaysia. Fifty relevant ELV studies in Malaysia from the year 2006 to 2021 are selected and categorized based on three innovative sub-elements (product, process, system) of sustainable manufacturing. The literature review findings show that sustainable product recovery and recyclability issues in ELV treatments are still a major concern. Current studies overlook specific research on sustainable and integrated processes for ELV treatment. There is still lack of detailed ELV implementation framework equipped with the documented procedures and appropriate industrial practices in the ELV ecosystem to optimize the ELV supply chain. ELV policy is yet to be enacted in Malaysia, and public awareness of ELV is still low. There is inadequate alignment in ELV research developments with the current National Automotive Policy 2020 in Malaysia. The proposed integrated conceptual model will provide an extensive overview for scholars, policy-makers, and ELV stakeholders to implement appropriate actions to improve present ELV businesses in line with the public readiness to enact the potential ELV directives or legislation in Malaysia.
