Abstract

To advance the comprehension of circular business models and guide effective strategies for adopting circularity across the automotive industry, this article undertakes a systematic literature review aimed at identifying prevailing conceptual frameworks and analytical perspectives related to these models. The selected peer reviewed publications provide the theoretical basis to explore how circular economy principles have been articulated and operationalised within automotive contexts. To empirically illustrate these theoretical insights, illustrative case studies are examined drawing on the theoretical constructs identified in the literature. The paper analyses five illustrative cases of Brazilian firms operating in the automotive industry, with the objective of characterising how circular business models are implemented in the Global South in practice and identifying the main circular strategies adopted by each company.
