The average age of vehicles on the roads and in the fields grows slightly each year as manufacturing and material quality improves. How are OEMs incorporating this into everyday policies such as:​ 

• Part retention policies​ 
• Retention timelines​ 
• Stocking levels​ 
• Second life support and strategy​ 
• Bringing back discontinued parts and forecasting demand​ 
• Handling vehicle-down cases for very old vehicles and machines​ 
• European Union Ecodesign requirements 

We'll also explore developments in the 3D printing, market, covering aspects for OEMs to consider while assessing late-in-life part strategies. This will be led by Don Jones, Carlisle's Executive-in-Residence.
