Digital passport software solution AVL Digital Battery Passport

for battery

Overview
The AVL Digital Battery Passport is a production-ready solution combining a secure data platform and AVL expertise in regulatory and CO2 engineering. It enables standardized data collection, validation and traceability across the battery lifecycle to support compliance and reporting requirements.

EU Sustainable Batteries Regulation
The solution is designed to address key regulatory obligations for batteries placed on the EU market, including:

• Restrictions on hazardous substances
• Mandatory carbon footprint measurement, third-party verification and publication
• Requirements for recycled content and extended producer responsibility

Timeline / Key regulatory milestones

• 2025 — Carbon footprint must be third-party verified and publicly accessible.
• 2027 — Mandatory digital battery passport for batteries larger than 2 kWh.
• 2028 — Maximum lifecycle carbon footprint for industrial batteries (scheduled requirement).
• 2030 — Digital product passport required for intermediate and end-use products.
• 2035 — Minimum recycling levels for raw materials.

Product Passport Platform
What is covered?

• Regulatory data tracking required by authorities
• Fine-grained CO2 tracking and reporting support
• Data quality tracking (DQR) and validation

How to integrate data
The platform supports multiple integration pathways to capture lifecycle data and maintain a single digital identity for each battery.

• Manufacturer system integration (ERP, PLM)
• IoT telematics and in‑use data integration
• Logistics and supply‑chain data feeds
• Web dashboards and APIs for reporting
