Temsa teams with Minespider for battery regulations

Temsa is to partner with Minespider to collect key data, integrate Battery Passports and comply with the new EU Battery Regulation.

The Battery Passport is an electronic record that will hold all the data regarding a battery including its technical details, information, sustainability and usage data that was proposed by the EU Battery Regulation proposal in 2020 and approved in July 2023. A Life Cycle Assessment and carbon footprint declaration will also be carried out. Being one of the leading smart mobility companies, Temsa operates in many EU countries and has to comply with the new regulation.

The requirement to establish Battery Passports will be obligatory from February 2027. Temsa says its ambition is to be a human-centred technology company and to provide smart and sustainable mobility solutions to the world, not only complying with all regulations but going beyond them.

The project started in August and includes conducting the Battery Regulation Readiness assessment, providing consultancy on what data have to be collected, integration of the Minespider platform with existing software, setting up the Battery Passports for an exemplary battery model and then scaling up the Battery Passports throughout TEMSA.

“Temsa’s intention is being transparent about the information for the Battery Packs that are delivered in buses, coaches or even sold as an off the shelf separate product” – Burak Onur, Head of Electric Powertrain, Temsa

Burak Onur, Head of Electric Powertrain, Temsa, said: “Temsa’s intention is being transparent about the information for the Battery Packs that are delivered in buses, coaches or even sold as an off the shelf separate product. In that way we can be more confident about the safety and reliability of our Battery Packs. End-user can access data just by scanning the barcode on the pack and reach information very quickly.”
