Digital Product Passport for Automotive and Spare Parts
Our Digital Product Passport solutions designed for the automotive and spare parts sector enable digital identification, tracking, and secure sharing of product data within the scope of the EU Ecodesign Regulation (ESPR) and related regulations. Manage vehicle and component-based technical data together with sustainability requirements.
New Era in Digital Product Identity and Regulatory Compliance in Automotive
The EU Ecodesign Regulation and Digital Product Passport approach positions automotive products among high-priority and high-risk product groups. Technical compliance, material content, repair, and recovery information for vehicles and spare parts are now managed through digital product identity.
The Digital Product Passport is a living digital record covering vehicle and part identity, material and alloy information, hazardous substances, part compatibility, maintenance-repair requirements, and end-of-life processes.
This structure enables accurate, up-to-date, and consistent data sharing across a broad ecosystem extending from manufacturers to authorized services, from regulatory authorities to the second-hand market. It also supports recycling goals and accelerates the transition to a circular automotive value chain.
Manufacturers, parts suppliers, and importers are responsible for the creation, updating, and accessibility of the Digital Product Passport as long as the product is on the market.
