With the Bosch Battery Passport, you comply with EU battery regulations through complete transparency across your batteries' lifecycle – the digital twin solution supports regulatory compliance while forming the foundation for numerous additional value-creating applications.
Battery Passport countdown: Ready for 2027?
Starting 2027, EU regulations will mandate a digital battery passport for all batteries placed or put into service on the EU market. This includes electric vehicle batteries, light means of transport batteries, and industrial batteries with a capacity of 2kWh or more.

Harmonized and centralized management of battery data over the entire life cycle.
Regulatory compliance
Meets all EU requirements and industry-specific regulations regarding batteries.
High scalability and reuse of data
Easy reuse of battery data and implementation of other product data for further use cases.
Functions in detail
Automated creation of battery passports
The battery passport is automatically created for various stakeholders: ‘General public’, ‘Interested parties’ and ‘Authorities’. A digital twin is created for each individual battery, based on the open-source IDTA standard, i.e. the Asset Administration Shell (AAS). This is done automatically via an ETL pipeline, and each twin is registered in the Digital Twin Registry for easy location and access.
Authorization management and comprehensive approval process
The various stakeholders only see the data relevant to them, which is ensured by differentiated access controls. A complete review and approval process for all battery data is implemented.
Automated calculation of legally required dynamic attributes
The system enables the precise and fully automated calculation of all legally required dynamic attributes for battery products. This comprehensive solution is specifically designed to cover the entire spectrum of battery types, chemistries, purposes, form factors, and capacity. This innovative feature is provided by "Battery in the Cloud," Bosch's intelligent, connected solution for improved battery management.
Passport data can be retrieved via APIs and user interface
The battery passport can be retrieved via APIs with push and pull services and has also a user-friendly UI.
Digital Twins as foundation for diverse use cases
The solution scales freely beyond the battery passport. The underlying data strategy in the Bosch Semantic Stack can be used for all product data throughout their entire lifecycle. Thanks to the digital twin-based architecture and the easy reusability of your data, you can implement numerous additional use cases with minimal effort.
Catena-X-certified interoperability and data sovereignty
The solution uses a Catena-X certified Digital Twin Registry that ensures the highest interoperability and quality standards for access to the collaborative data space of the automotive industry. Through the decentralized architecture, companies can manage their battery data sovereignly and selectively share it with partners along the value chain, while their own data remains protected at all times.
Turn compliance into competitive edge.
