Greater Transparency with the
AVL Digital Battery Passport
“The AVL Digital
Batery Passport is
a game changer for
compliance with the
new EU Bateries
Regulation”
attery development is making rapid progress. In addition
to technological innovations, there is an increasing
focus on the ecological and social aspects of battery
production. This includes the carbon footprint throughout the
entire value chain of a battery from production and second
liJe to Yltimate recycling. 8o tLis end, tLe )9 Las ratified a
new Batteries Regulation: Starting February 2027, all batteries
sold in Europe for electric vehicles, light-duty vehicles, and
industrial batteries with a capacity of more than 2 kWh must
have a unique battery passport.
To comply with the stricter EU requirements regarding
sustainability and circularity and to generate added value from
the progressive digitalization of the value chain, we developed
the AVL Digital Battery Passport. This unique digital solution
facilitates traceability and transparency throughout the battery
lifecycle. Our passport makes an important contribution to
greater sustainability and to the creation of a transparent
circular economy in battery production.
The AVL Digital Battery Passport is the digital counterpart to
the physical battery. It contains all relevant data for continuous
documentation of the battery and thus provides a digital
representation for the legislator, various parties along the
value chain, and the end user. The passport comprises unique
identification as well as inJormation on TerJormance, liJetime,
material usage and recycled materials, compliance with due
diligence in the supply chain, and the end-of-life management
of the battery.
The data can be accessed from a user-friendly dashboard
and used by other systems via standardized interfaces.
