If you're norwegian you can go look at it from 27 minutes and until the end (about 2:30 mins) but if you're not I am (unsurprisingly) MAD on Bilimportørenes Landsforening (the car importers national association?). Okay the dude said, and I quote:
This episode basically followed the two program hosts as they try to repair a car that was about to be trashed with used parts.
- This is a response to electrical cars being trashed because fixing minor stuff is too expensive, and the mechanics are not really allowed to use used parts which were 1\3 of the price. The example put forth in the series was changing a battery on your 2016 car: a brand new one would be 200+K NOK. A used one was 25K.
- So basically it's not "green" due to the waste it produces and not being 'fixable'
- But norway substitute for people to buy electric cars. Not repair thought. : )
To the point,
Car importer representative:
"The reason we are skeptical about reusing car parts in cars has nothing to do with reuse to do. We don't support it because we don't support the process 100%. It's not after our standards."
Program leader:
"Do you allow the use of used parts in your guarantee scheme (garantiordning)?"
Car importer representative:
"No, not today."
"We are positive to reuse."
Program leader:
"Do you think that using used parts in car repairs is the future?"
Car importer representative:
"We are VERY positive to reuse, but it must be done after the book." (His books say they are currently against it.)
Me, the viewer:
"If you said something else it would have been political suicide."
lamooof
Anyway, i am obviously not surprised. They want more cars imported.
