Automotive: Extending vehicle life for a greener future

Our platforms AutoScout24 and MotoScout24 drive circularity by facilitating the resale of pre-owned vehicles in Switzerland. This can contribute to extending the useful life of vehicles and potentially reducing waste and resource use, compared to new vehicle production. Resold vehicles benefit from Switzerland’s stringent maintenance requirements and mandatory vehicle inspections, ensuring consistent performance and emissions compliance while extending the lifecycle of the vehicles. In 2024, approximately 80% of listings on our Automotive platforms were for pre-owned vehicles, a strong proxy for the proportion of sales in this business unit, supporting more sustainable consumption patterns.
