With a rising demand for electric vehicle (EV) and industrial batteries, the European Union is replacing the current Battery Directive with an ambitious new regulation covering all categories of batteries. The purpose is to support a sustainable battery industry, improve the functioning of the internal market within the EU, boost a circular economy and mitigate environmental and social impact related to batteries. At the Volvo Group, we are pleased to see our core values being supported by regulation.

The more an electric vehicle (EV) battery is used, the greater the benefits are. The Volvo Group works to ensure that every battery that powers Volvo applications is used to its full potential, before being carefully recycled. By doing so, we create a circular business model of second life batteries, reduce environmental impact and accelerate the shift towards a zero-emission future.
