Extracting ore, smelting steel, casting engine blocks and forging axles consume massive amounts of fossil energy and release large volumes of CO₂e. For decades, the truck industry followed a linear model: manufacture new vehicles, operate them until end-of-life, then scrap and recycle metal. Standardized remanufacturing breaks this linear…
