SHERIDAN, WYOMING - November 10, 2025 - At this year's EQUIP AUTO trade show in Paris, The Future is NEUTRAL took center stage - not just for its bold sustainability mission, but for winning the Innovation Award in the category "Energy Transition, Sustainable Development, Circular Economy." The honor recognizes the company's groundbreaking work in remanufacturing electric vehicle powertrains, marking a significant milestone for Europe's automotive circular economy.
Driving the Circular Revolution in Mobility
From October 14-18, 2025, The Future is NEUTRAL showcased its complete ecosystem of circular automotive solutions, built around a simple but transformative idea: every car part can have a second life. The company's approach covers the entire lifecycle of vehicles - collecting, dismantling, reusing, remanufacturing, and recycling - creating a closed-loop model that reintroduces materials and components back into the automotive system.
This full-cycle solution makes The Future is NEUTRAL the only company in Europe offering such comprehensive services to manufacturers, suppliers, and recyclers alike.
Innovation that Saves Money and Resources
The company's award-winning project - a complete remanufacturing of an electric vehicle powertrain, including both the motor and power electronics - stands as a European first. Developed in collaboration with Renault Group, and soon to be expanded to other brands, the innovation delivers impressive results: remanufactured EV powertrains cost around 30% less than new equivalents while meeting the same performance and quality standards.
This forward-thinking project also draws support from Valeo and AUMOVIO Engineering Solutions, combining expertise in energy efficiency and sustainable engineering.
Decades of Expertise Under One Roof
Behind The Future is NEUTRAL is a powerful group of specialized subsidiaries, each contributing to the circular ecosystem:
- INDRA Automobile Recycling - Celebrating 40 years of leadership in end-of-life vehicle recovery, INDRA connects a network of insurance partners, manufacturers, and ELV centers to process thousands of vehicles and millions of reusable parts each year.
- THE REMAKERS - A pioneer since 1949, now a European reference in remanufacturing parts for combustion, hybrid, and electric vehicles. Its refurbished components match new parts in reliability while significantly reducing costs and waste.
- GAIA - An expert in material recycling, battery repair, and parts recovery, GAIA is preparing to open a state-of-the-art vehicle dismantling center in Flins by the end of the year, with the support of INDRA.
Together, these subsidiaries give The Future is NEUTRAL the unique capacity to manage sustainability at every stage - from dismantling to design.
Building Knowledge for a Circular Future
In addition to its industrial leadership, The Future is NEUTRAL provides consulting and learning programs to help the automotive sector embrace circular thinking. During EQUIP AUTO, the company introduced its new "Remanufacturing Learning Expedition", an initiative designed to share best practices in recycling, remanufacturing, and sustainable production with industry stakeholders.
Why It Matters
As the automotive world accelerates toward electrification, The Future is NEUTRAL is proving that sustainability and profitability can go hand in hand. Its ecosystem not only reduces waste but also cuts costs for drivers and manufacturers, extending the lifespan of vehicles and components while minimizing environmental impact.
The company's recognition at EQUIP AUTO 2025 reaffirms Europe's leading role in shaping a smarter, cleaner, and more circular mobility future.
