New EU Battery Passport rules: What’s changing for OEMs?
The EU is introducing Digital Battery Passports, a mandatory system for tracking EV and industrial batteries. By 2027, OEMs must provide data on carbon footprint, sourcing, performance, and recycling to meet new regulations.
Batteries without a passport can’t be sold in the EU, and missing data could lead to fines and legal risks. Find out what information must be included, key deadlines, and how to integrate compliance into your supply chain. Get the details here.
