Hundreds of autolibs lined up on a vacant lot: some with the hood open, others with broken windows, a few with smashed insides.
It is in Romorantin-Lanthenay (Loir-et-Cher) that the old cars of the car-sharing service are mainly stored.
What project for these vehicles?
Atis Production, which owns the cars in particular, declined to respond to AFP.
These used vehicles stored without their battery present no danger, according to the authorities. “It is therefore a parking lot for second-hand cars as there are plenty of them. The risk of pollution, once the batteries are removed, is very limited, ”estimated in 2019 the Regional Directorate for the Environment, Planning and Housing of Center-Val de Loire (Dreal).
