The Challenge

Multi-Modal Battery Transport Is Getting More Complex

The freight forwarding industry faces some of the most demanding and rapidly evolving compliance requirements around lithium batteries. Non-compliance risks cargo rejection, regulatory fines, and liability exposure across every mode of transport.

  • Different packaging requirements per transport mode (road, sea, air, rail)
  • Constantly changing ADR, IMDG and IATA regulations updated on 2-year cycles
  • Risk of cargo rejection at customs or border crossings
  • Liability for thermal events during transit
  • Documentation requirements differ per shipper, route and carrier
  • No single certified solution covering all modes of transport
  • Increasing scrutiny on damaged or defective battery shipments
