Scenarios for a Circular Supply Chain for the Light Electric Vehicle Sector

This paper addresses the critical intersection of circular economy principles and the rapidly evolving Light Electric Vehicle (LEV) sector. Using a multidisciplinary approach with literature reviews and stakeholder surveys, the paper explores scenarios for the adaptation strategies along the LEV supply chain, delving into their implications on the environmental impact and overall sustainability of the sector. The authors analyzed influencing factors shaping the transition towards circularity, considering technological advancements, consumer preferences, regulatory landscapes, and market dynamics, which play pivotal roles in optimizing the sustainability of circular strategies for LEV. Assessing the trajectory of circular practices in the LEV sector not only advances sustainable transportation but also creates economic opportunities, informs policy development, and aligns with evolving consumer preferences. The findings offer a nuanced understanding of the challenges and opportunities inherent in the adoption of circular economy practices within the LEV industry.
