EV MANUFACTURERS & OEMS
Safe EV Battery Logistics Across the Entire Supply Chain
Whether it’s production transport, recall logistics or defective battery storage. BUNCKER® provides the certified solution for EV manufacturers and Tier-1 suppliers.
THE CHALLENGE
EV Battery Transport is a Complex Safety and Compliance Problem
The rapid growth of the EV market has created an equally rapid growth in the complexity of battery logistics. High-voltage lithium-ion battery packs are classified as dangerous goods under multiple regulatory frameworks and the consequences of non-compliance are severe: shipment rejection, facility shutdown, and significant legal liability.
Thermal runaway events during transport pose an extreme risk to personnel, vehicles and infrastructure. A single battery fire in a freight terminal or aboard a vessel can result in total loss and multi-year legal proceedings. For EV OEMs managing millions of battery movements annually, the stakes have never been higher.
Recall campaigns compound the challenge: defective or suspected batteries must be transported under the most stringent classifications UN3480 and UN3481 requiring specialised packaging that most logistics providers simply cannot source quickly enough.
KEY PAIN POINTS FOR EV MANUFACTURERS
ADR compliance for high-voltage packs
High-energy battery packs require specific UN packaging instructions UN LP906, which most standard containers cannot meet.
Recall logistics at speed and scale
Recall campaigns require certified packaging on short notice. Stock availability is critical to preventing operational shutdowns.
Thermal runaway risk in transit
Even fully functional battery packs can enter thermal runaway under certain conditions. Standard packaging provides no meaningful containment.
End-of-life and warranty return complexity
Batteries classified as “damaged”, “defective” or “suspected” require separate packaging instructions, adding cost and operational complexity.
Filler materials slow everything down
Vermiculite, sand and absorbent pads add loading time, contamination risk and disposal costs on every single shipment.
