Do you have a link?

I tried searching it but i only found a study by them on the average life cycle of a car that they used for comparison of life cycle emissions (which i noted they expected it to be 200,000 km or 124,000 mi before dissassembly and recycling). The average here in america for age of car on road is 12.1 years and at 15,000 miles per year average thats 181,500 miles.
