Abstract
This paper addresses sustainable mobility in Atlantic Africa through compliance with environmental standards, limited by the circulation of very used cars often responsible for various nuisances. This study aimed to show that, in view of environmental requirements, to perpetuate the export of used cars from Europe to Africa, it is necessary to systematize their management. Thus, the methodology (quantitative and qualitative) analyses databases of the International Organization of Motor Vehicle Manufacturers (OICA) from 2015 to 2023 of government and port authorities supplemented by surveys based on direct observation in the field, questionnaires and interviews involving 55 stakeholders in Europe and 127 in Africa. The results demonstrate that cars used and their parts, but not wrecks, are essential for motorization in Atlantic Africa. A pre-export process needs to be set up to ensure that exported vehicles are parked in better condition to meet the required common environmental standards.
