With Path.Era you can manage digital product passports, ensure legal compliance and connect with your supply-chain for greater efficiency and transparency. Path.Era is based on Catena-X.
In 2027, new regulations will make a digital product passport become mandatory for all new EV batteries in the EU. Which is why we have created the Path.Era battery passport: an easy-to-use passport that collects crucial data about an EV battery and its entire value chain, including information on carbon footprint, materials, recyclability, and more.
Current solutions for EV batteries are difficult to use. Onboarding is complicated and the costs for suppliers are significant because data usually has to be shared manually and without proper verification. Path.Era simplifies and secures the whole process with easy onboarding, instant communication, and smoother legal compliance.
Path.Era is built by a group of industrial powerhouses that are synonymous with reliable data, trust and transparency. We offer secure identity and data, and the integration of trust services. When managing your EV battery passport, manual steps are reduced, and sensitive data is transmitted automatically via a certified, secure system.
Path.Era allows users to connect, share, and synchronize data seamlessly across different software applications in Catena-X. An ecosystem designed to simplify workflows and enhance collaboration.
To collect the relevant data points for a battery pass, we will support our relevant value chain partners with a simple and trusted solution to get the job done. Path.Era and Catena-X are the perfect match to get the job done.
Path.Era is a digital product passport ecosystem (based on Catena-X) designed to provide transparent and traceable information about products throughout their lifecycle. It is a trusted, one-stop-shop solution built 100% on Catena-X principles, enabling you to unleash the full potential of the Catena-X ecosystem by combining onboarding, software, trust and collaboration into a clear, holistic customer journey.
Path.Era is an open ecosystem founded by a group of industry powerhouses including BASF, BMW, CATL, Henkel and Siemens. We are united in our mission to establish the first industry-wide, accepted battery passport and create the leading ecosystem for digital product passports.
New legal requirements will make battery passports mandatory for batteries larger than 2kWh in the European Union by 2027, predominantly affecting electric vehicles. Soon, this regulation will extend to almost every product group imaginable. Path.Era simplifies creation and management of digital product passports – starting with the battery passport and expanding into other product groups and industries afterwards. It enables value-chain optimization, process automation, and reliable ESG data communication, all of which enhance efficiency and business performance.
At Path.Era, our mission goes beyond simply providing software. We’re committed to helping each user achieve the right level of digital readiness, ensuring they gain the full benefits of our solution.
