While the European regulation on the end-of-life (EoL) vehicle is more and more strict, the introduction of innovations makes the material composition of vehicles evolve and can lead to a risk for approval on the recoverability of the vehicle. We set up a preventive tool named OSIRIS to evaluate the impact of an innovation on the recyclability rate of a vehicle. The innovation teams and the vehicle project leaders can evaluate an impact trend. It is supported: 1) by a modular approach of the vehicle; 2) by simplifying assumptions for fixing a module; 3) by management of the EoL options. By testing this approach on a hybrid motorisation, we show that the uncertainty resulting from the simplifying hypothesis is <0.20% when the initial and innovative solutions have a mass difference <40-60 kg.
