Automotive Circularity and Compliance Data
Prepare vehicle, component, battery, material and supplier data for evolving EU automotive regulations and Digital Product Passports.
UCVreg helps vehicle manufacturers, tier-1 suppliers, battery producers, aftermarket operators and importers structure compliance information, connect claims to evidence and maintain auditable product records across complex supply chains.
The EU regulatory landscape for Automotive
EU Battery Regulation (Regulation (EU) 2023/1542)
Mandatory Battery Passports apply from 18 February 2027 for industrial batteries with a capacity above 2 kWh, LMT (light means of transport) batteries and electric vehicle (EV) batteries.
Requires structured information on battery model, chemistry, manufacturing location, carbon footprint declaration, supply chain due diligence, recycled content (cobalt, lead, lithium, nickel) and dynamic state of health (SoH) metrics.
End-of-Life Vehicles (ELV) and Vehicle Circularity
The proposed EU End-of-Life Vehicles Regulation introduces mandatory circularity requirements for vehicle design, including minimum recycled plastic targets (25% recycled plastic, of which 25% from closed-loop ELVs) and Circularity Passports detailing component dismantling, spare parts removal and critical raw material recovery.
Vehicle manufacturers must structure deep multi-tier component bills of materials connecting material composition to certified recyclability proof.
ESPR Digital Product Passport Workflow Pipeline
End-to-end verified workflow from supplier ingestion to EU market clearance
BOM & Material Ingestion
Supply Chain DataCapture multi-tier fiber/material composition, recycled content ratios, and supplier test declarations.
Ecodesign Validation
ESPR & DurabilityVerify product durability, SVHC chemical thresholds, microplastic limits, and Article 23 unsold rules.
DPP Registry Filing
Decentralized GatewayRegister cryptographic product passports on the EU DPP Gateway with role-based access permissions.
Data Carrier Verification
GS1 QR / 2D MatrixAffix persistent 2D data carriers accessible to consumers, professional repairers, recyclers, and customs.
Tyre Regulations and Natural Rubber EUDR
Tyres fitted to new vehicles or sold in the aftermarket are governed by EU Tyre Labelling (Regulation (EU) 2020/740), upcoming ESPR tyre ecodesign rules, and the EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) for all natural rubber content.
Automotive OEMs must coordinate supplier proof across battery cells, aluminium castings, steel chassis, tyres and interior textiles under distinct regulatory workflows.
Where Automotive compliance data breaks and how UCVreg supports readiness
Manage multi-tier automotive supplier BOMs
A vehicle assembly incorporates tens of thousands of components from thousands of suppliers across 5 tiers of the global supply base.
Structure hierarchical automotive BOMs linking part numbers, IMDS declarations, battery passports and supplier test certificates.
Coordinate mandatory EV Battery Passport filings
Battery passports require carbon footprint calculations, responsible sourcing due diligence and live state-of-health data integrations.
Connect cell, module and pack records to third-party verification bodies and the EU Battery Passport registry.
Govern intersecting EU regulations across vehicle systems
Battery regulations, ESPR priority acts, ELV circularity rules, CBAM and EUDR apply simultaneously to different vehicle sub-systems.
Reuse governed supplier and material records across separate regulatory compliance profiles with independent approval workflows.
Preserve versioned model year compliance records
Engineering changes, facelift revisions and alternative supplier qualifications alter homologation and regulatory records.
Maintain immutable, timestamped revision histories with SHA-256 cryptographic fingerprints for every vehicle identification number (VIN) and batch.
