Waste management is gaining very high importance in recent years. As automotive is one of the most critical sectors worldwide, which is rapidly increasing, the management of end-of-life vehicles (ELVs) gains importance day by day. Due to legislation and new regulations, actors like users, producers, and treatment facilities are being conferred new responsibilities in the ELV management process. Besides, the ELV management is of vital importance for environment conservation, circular economy and sustainable development. All of these reasons are making the ELV management such a crucial issue to study. Today, the ELV management is a well-positioned and emergent research area. However, the available review papers are focused only on a small area of the ELV management, such as reverse logistics, recovery infrastructure, disassemblability, etc. Besides, a review of state-of-the-art mathematical models for the ELV management is still missing. This paper aims to provide an extensive content analysis overview of studies on the ELV management. A total of 232 studies published in the period 2000–2019 are collected, categorized, reviewed and analyzed. A critical review of the published literature is provided. Gaps in the literature are identified to clarify and suggest future research directions. This review can provide a source of references, valuable insights, and opportunities for researchers interested in the ELV management and inspire their additional attention.

近年来，废物管理变得越来越重要。随着汽车成为全球范围内最关键的行业之一，并且这一行业正在迅速增长，因此报废汽车（ELV）的管理日益重要。由于立法和新规定，使用者，生产者和处理设施等参与者在ELV管理流程中被赋予了新的责任。此外，电动汽车的管理对于环境保护，循环经济和可持续发展也至关重要。所有这些原因使得ELV管理成为研究的关键问题。如今，ELV管理已是一个定位良好且新兴的研究领域。但是，可用的评论文章仅针对ELV管理的一小部分，例如逆向物流，回收基础设施，可拆卸性等。此外，仍然缺少对ELV管理的最新数学模型的评论。本文旨在提供有关ELV管理研究的广泛内容分析概述。收集，分类，审查和分析了2000年至2019年期间发表的232项研究。提供了对已发表文献的评论。确定文献中的空白以阐明和建议未来的研究方向。这篇综述可以为对ELV管理感兴趣的研究人员提供参考，有价值的见解和机会，并激发他们的额外关注。收集，分类，审查和分析了2000年至2019年期间发表的232项研究。提供了对已发表文献的评论。确定文献中的空白以阐明和建议未来的研究方向。这篇综述可以为对ELV管理感兴趣的研究人员提供参考，有价值的见解和机会，并激发他们的额外关注。收集，分类，审查和分析了2000年至2019年期间发表的232项研究。提供了对已发表文献的评论。确定文献中的空白以阐明和建议未来的研究方向。这篇综述可以为对ELV管理感兴趣的研究人员提供参考，有价值的见解和机会，并激发他们的额外关注。
