Enhance operational efficiency through complete supply chain transparency – Download now
Electric vehicles (EVs) are the foundation of a low-carbon future, yet they introduce a complex and high-risk frontier for modern supply chains. As demand for EVs and plug-in hybrids in Europe grows, the infrastructure for transporting, storing, and reusing their primary power source, lithium-ion batteries, remains underdeveloped.
This thought leadership piece, developed by DANX Carousel in collaboration with Kearney, explores the roadmap to a safer, smarter, and more circular battery supply chain. It examines the critical pain points of the current disjointed landscape, including fragmented regulation and the inherent safety risks of thermal runaway.
Key takeaways include:
- Standardised legal requirements are necessary to give logistics providers certainty to fully engage in the market
- Proactive risk management requires comprehensive safety routines, specialised containment equipment, and site-specific emergency training.
- Accessing data from Battery Management Systems (BMS) and implementing “battery passports” are key to predicting problems, improving safety, and increasing recycling rates.
- Standardising data collection and checklists can dismantle barriers to the growing second-hand battery trade.
- Forward-looking businesses must invest in infrastructure upgrades while embodying best practices to set industry benchmarks.
