en.Wedoany.com Reported - FPT Industrial's carbon-neutral ePowertrain plant in Turin, Italy, has passed the audit by TÜV SÜD in accordance with the EU Batteries Regulation (EU) 2023/1542, certifying the design, development, and manufacturing process of its eBS 37 EVO high-voltage battery.

The multinational delegation involved in the audit consisted of three auditors from TÜV SÜD Denmark ApS, three representatives from the Danish Accreditation Fund (DANAK), and one representative from the Italian Accreditation Body (Accredia). The audit feedback was positive, with auditors and observers recognizing FPT's quality system and assembly line.

This certification provides product quality assurance for FPT's high-voltage battery customers. The brand's high-voltage batteries, already prepared with a battery passport, offer key elements such as traceability, performance, and durability, and most importantly, trust.

When the EU Batteries Regulation (EU) 2023/1542 becomes fully effective, such audits will become mandatory for all European battery manufacturers. FPT has been compliant with this requirement since 2024.

This audit also yielded another outcome: TÜV SÜD Denmark ApS received DANAK accreditation under the European Regulation (EU) 2023/1542, enabling it to perform CE marking certification for high-voltage battery manufacturers. This makes TÜV SÜD one of the first three technical service providers in Europe to reach this milestone. TÜV SÜD selected FPT as the high-voltage battery manufacturer and IVECO Technology & Digital Validation & Homologation Vehicle & Battery Homologation (the department responsible for approving FPT high-voltage battery models, under Iveco Group) as the pilot audit subject to demonstrate its ability to audit battery manufacturers in an appropriate manner.

Simone Gianoglio, Head of Technology & Digital Validation & Homologation Vehicle & Battery Homologation at Iveco Group, stated that FPT's successful audit demonstrates its readiness in advance. This certification proves its commitment to providing reliable, high-performance electrification solutions, with its battery management system series and innovative energy storage systems designed to extend battery life and improve efficiency.

Yalcin Ölmez, Lead Auditor for EU Batteries Regulation at TÜV SÜD Denmark, stated that at FPT, they saw a professional team integrating quality into the manufacturing process, with battery production meeting the highest standards.

The eBS 37 EVO is a 37 kWh battery pack designed for light commercial vehicles, minibuses, and marine applications. This modular battery pack integrates cells and modules using NMC 811 lithium-ion technology, achieving an energy density exceeding 140 Wh/kg, a depth of discharge of 95%, and contributing to reduced battery weight.

The battery pack is equipped with FPT's proprietary eBM 5 battery management system, which extends battery life based on mission requirements. Its internal design ensures compliance with ECE R100.4 and ECE R10 safety standards. The battery pack is liquid-cooled, has a nominal voltage of 355V, supports up to 4 packs in parallel or up to 2 packs in series, offers an IP6K9K/IP67 protection rating, measures 925x854x310mm, weighs 260kg, and has a cycle life of 2500 cycles. The eBS 37 EVO is already prepared with a battery passport.
