Tenways and Minespider have collaborated to implement digital battery passports for e-bike batteries. The initiative aims to enhance industry transparency and data management ahead of new regulatory requirements.
Why it matters
The partnership helps manufacturers prepare for the European Union Battery Regulation, which mandates that light means of transport batteries must carry digital documentation. This transition aims to standardize battery data across the entire supply chain.
The European Union Battery Regulation requires all light means of transport batteries to carry a digital passport by 18 February 2027. This passport must be accessible via a QR code linked to a unique identifier.
