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.
It is secure, designed as being the simplest entry point for every partner in the battery value chain, manual steps are reduced, and sensitive data is transmitted following the guidelines of Catena-X.
