The Future is NEUTRAL receives an innovation award at EQUIP AUTO trade show,
recognising its competitive approach to circular economy

• From October 14^th to 18^th, 2025, The Future is NEUTRAL showcases its competitive solutions dedicated to automotive circular economy at the international EQUIP AUTO trade show. COLLECTING, DISMANTLING end-of-life vehicles, REUSING, REMANUFACTURING, RECYCLING parts and materials to REINTRODUCE them into the automotive life cycle: this is the strategic mission of NEUTRAL, the only company in Europe to provide this complete offer to all industry stakeholders.
• On this occasion, NEUTRAL, together with its subsidiary THE REMAKERS, receives the Innovation Award in the category “Energy Transition, Sustainable Development, Circular Economy.” This recognition is a European premiere: the complete remanufacturing of an electric vehicle powertrain, including the motor and power electronics.
