en.Wedoany.com Reported - A.P. Moller - Maersk has introduced a dedicated lithium-ion battery transport solution within its North American ground freight network to meet the rapidly growing demand for safe, compliant, and reliable transport of Class 9 batteries across the continent.

This new capability enables Maersk Ground Freight to serve a critical and rapidly expanding segment of the energy transition supply chain, with customers primarily in the automotive, electric vehicle, and advanced manufacturing sectors. Maersk stated that demand in this area is growing rapidly, and the electrification of transportation has become one of the defining industrial transformations of this decade.

This move extends Maersk's hazardous materials expertise from maritime and air freight to road logistics, building the connective tissue required for the North American EV supply chain. The initiative is based on strict qualification and documentation standards, including: accepting only new batteries, not damaged, defective, recalled, returned, or waste battery packs; maintaining the state of charge (SOC) of all shipped batteries between 10% and 60%; providing complete documentation for each shipment, including Safety Data Sheets (SDS), dangerous goods declarations, UN 38.3 test summaries, SOC statements, and watt-hour ratings; drivers within the network are trained in hazardous materials handling, and under U.S. Department of Transportation regulations, no DOT placards or CDL hazardous materials endorsements are required; cross-border transport capabilities between the United States, Canada, and Mexico, with compliance protocols tailored to each jurisdiction.
