AVL unites battery engineering expertise, regulatory know‑how, and IT integration capabilities to embed Digital Battery Passports seamlessly into existing system landscapes. The AVL Digital Battery Passport is designed as part of a broader product passport ecosystem for future lifecycle transparency and digital product data.
Audit‑Ready Data
We help customers identifydata gaps, definedata‑quality rules, and integrate static and dynamic data from ERP, PLM, MES,BMS, and telematics systems. A traceability matrix ensures full visibility from requirement to evidence, enabling audit‑ready governance.
CO₂ Footprint Compliance
AVL delivers audit‑ready CO₂ footprint models based on battery engineering expertise and regulatory alignment. Footprint results are embedded directly into the passport and can be reused for CSRD and ESG reporting.
Up‑to‑Date RegulatoryAssurance
AVL is participates actively in various standardization bodies, alliances and committees ensures that our solutions reflect the latest regulatory expectations.
Every update is reflected into platform releases and customer guidance.
Structured ImplementationPath
With strong engineering program experience, AVL provides a clear roadmap with phase gates, deliverables, and a feasible timeline toward the 2027 deadline, covering stakeholders, data contracts, and QR governance.
Consulting & value added services
Legislation consulting on the boundary conditions for the compliant implementation. CO2 engineering in CO2 footprint assessment as well as definition of reduction measures.
Infrastructure and hosting
The necessary infrastructure for the platform is hosted in a secure cloud environment at AVL.
Platform and application
Software platform and application for creating a unique digital identity for the battery, validate and store data from sources across the supply chain.
Integration services
Seamless integration into the company’s eco-system, providing connections and interfaces to data sources and data sinks.
Driven by our passion for innovation, our digital battery passport is the result of combining the latest technologies, our deep application know-how, and decades of regulatory understanding. This unique fusion creates a digital identity for batteries, paving the way towards a greener and more sustainable world.
