IAA Transportation 2024 is an international trade fair focused on mobility, transportation and logistics. Microvast and Minespider are pleased to present a Battery Passport demo during one of the key global events for businesses and professionals in the transportation and logistics markets and show how their strategic partnership will help Microvast collect, store and manage battery data in alignment with the EU Battery Regulation. The Battery Passport demo will include general information about the battery such as battery identification number, manufacturing date and place, material composition of the battery, carbon footprint information, due diligence information and other details about the battery required by the EU Battery Regulation.

From February 2027, all electric vehicle (EV) batteries, light means of transport (LMT) batteries and industrial batteries exceeding 2kWh must have a Battery Passport in order to enter the European market. As a highly innovative battery manufacturer, Microvast understands how important it is to act before the EU Battery Regulation comes into force. As part of the strategic partnership, Minespider will assess and confirm Microvast's readiness to comply with the EU Battery Regulation, followed by implementation of the Battery Passports. Information about the battery type, chemistry and performance data and sustainability data will be listed in the Battery Passports. Microvast’s batteries will also benefit from the latest AI data management system implemented by Minespider. With the system, companies can upload documents, and the AI automatically extracts relevant data into the Battery Passport, ensuring all required information is accurately captured. Additionally, the system identifies and highlights any potential gaps in the data, enabling corrective action to maintain compliance with the EU Battery Regulation and data integrity.

"We are happy to show a demo of our Battery Passport today at IAA Transportation 2024 together with Microvast. We share Microvast’s vision that every battery component must have “a long-term, large-scale, ‘vast’ positive impact”. We are thrilled to support Microvast in having a comprehensive picture of their batteries and battery components across the entire supply chain and throughout their lifecycle.” – Nathan Williams, Founder and CEO of Minespider, commented.

“At Microvast, we are committed to leading the industry in sustainable battery innovation and regulatory compliance. Our partnership with Minespider underscores our proactive approach to not only meet but exceed the requirements of the EU Battery Regulation. By initiating this cooperation well ahead of the February 2027 deadline, we are ensuring that our customers in the European Union can rely on us to deliver batteries that are both technologically advanced and fully compliant with the highest sustainability standards. This collaboration positions Microvast as a prime mover in setting the benchmark for sustainable battery practices.” – Stefan Herr, Executive Vice President Microvast EMEA, commented.

Minespider entered the battery market in 2021 and developed its own Battery Passport to help OEMs and battery manufacturers comply with the EU Battery Regulation. Minespider works with industry-leading companies from the EV battery market, including Ford Otosan, Renault and TEMSA. Minespider is also a part of the European Battery Alliance (EBA), the EU Commission’s funded project BATRAW, aimed to find new technological ways to recycle critical minerals from EV batteries, as well as the Recirculate project, focused on the creation of a battery materials marketplace and enhancing the circular economy.
