FPT has obtained certification in accordance with European Regulation (EU) 2023/1542 (Batteries Regulation) as manufacturer of high-voltage batteries.
The subject of the audit, recently performed at FPT’s carbon-neutral ePowertrain plant in Turin
(Italy), was the complete design, development, and manufacturing process of the FPT eBS 37 EVO high-voltage battery for light commercial vehicles, minibuses, and pleasure boating applications.
For customers of FPT high-voltage batteries, this certification provides further assurance
of the quality of both our product and its performance, as the entire process has been
scrutinized down to the smallest detail, and fully certified. The brand’s battery passport-ready
high-voltage batteries give customers exactly what counts most: traceability, performance,
durability, and above all trust.
This audit will be mandatory for all European battery manufacturers when regulation
EU 2023/1542 comes into full effect, but FPT has complied with it since 2024.
The FPT audit produced remarkable result, since TÜV SÜD Denmark ApS obtained accreditation by DANAK according to European Regulation (EU) 2023/1542 (Batteries Regulation), allowing them to certify high-voltage battery manufacturers with a CE mark. This
result places TÜV SÜD among the first three technical service providers in Europe to reach this milestone.
Notably, TÜV SÜD chose FPT as a manufacturer of high-voltage batteries and IVECO
Technology & Digital Validation & Homologation Vehicle & Battery Homologation, an Iveco Group body also responsible for type-approving FPT’s high-voltage batteries, to demonstrate that they were capable of conducting an audit at a battery manufacturer in an appropriate manner.
“FPT demonstrated strong readiness ahead of schedule by passing the audit,” says Simone
Gianoglio, Technology & Digital Validation & Homologation Vehicle & Battery Homologation for Iveco Group. “This is all the more gratifying for us since we were specifically chosen by TÜV SÜD as a pilot audit. This prestigious certification testifies our commitment to reliable, high-performance electrification solutions, with our range of advanced battery management systems and innovative energy storage systems, designed to maximize battery life and efficiency across a wide range of mission requirements.”
“At FPT, we have seen a highly motivated and very professional team that has fully committed
to embedding quality in the manufacturing process,” says Yalcin Ölmez, Lead Auditor for
the EU Batteries Regulation at TÜV SÜD Denmark. “What we have seen is battery
production that meets the highest standards.”
