EU Battery Passport for Gothenburg Manufacturers
Battery Passport services in Gothenburg. EU Battery Regulation 2023/1542 compliance for Volvo suppliers, Northvolt partners and Vastra Gotaland EV manufacturers.
Gothenburg is the powerhouse of Sweden's electric mobility and energy storage industry. Volvo Cars, Volvo Trucks, Polestar, CEVT, Lynk and Co, and dozens of tier-1 and tier-2 battery and powertrain suppliers anchor the Gothenburg-Skovde-Trollhättan automotive corridor, while companies on Hisingen and in Lindholmen Science Park develop battery management systems, cell chemistries and second-life battery applications. With the entry into force of EU Battery Regulation 2023/1542, every industrial battery placed on the European market above 2 kWh capacity must carry a Battery Passport from 18 February 2027 onwards. The Battery Passport documents cell chemistry, recycled content, supply chain due diligence on cobalt, lithium, nickel and natural graphite, carbon footprint per kWh, and end-of-life information. EcoPass operates a Battery Passport service tuned to the Gothenburg ecosystem: connectors to Volvo's supplier portal, alignment with Northvolt's data exchange formats, and field experience integrating with Polestar and CEVT product data lakes. We translate raw battery management system telemetry, BOM data and supplier audits into a regulator-resolvable Battery Passport with English and Swedish surfaces.
Sweden enforces EU Battery Regulation 2023/1542 through the Naturvårdsverket (Swedish Environmental Protection Agency) and the Swedish Energy Agency. Vastra Gotaland-region producers must additionally comply with the producer responsibility ordinance for batteries (förordning 2008:834) and chemical reporting via KemI. EcoPass aligns every Gothenburg Battery Passport with the EU Battery Regulation Annex XIII data fields, with Sweden's national EPR registration ID, and with the OECD Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Mineral Supply Chains — preventing duplicate filings between EU passport, Naturvårdsverket reporting and customer audits.
A 180-employee battery module supplier in Lindholmen Science Park, supplying both Volvo Cars and a German truck OEM, faced a 2027 deadline to deliver Battery Passports for 22 module variants. Pre-EcoPass, supply chain due diligence on cobalt and natural graphite lived in a series of PDF audit reports filed quarterly. EcoPass deployed connectors to the supplier's BMS data warehouse, ingested cell-level test reports from a Korean cell partner, and produced QR-resolvable Battery Passports covering recycled content, carbon footprint per kWh and full chain-of-custody for cobalt and graphite. The customer secured a multi-year truck OEM contract worth approximately 41 million euros and reduced quarterly compliance preparation effort by 80%.
