CEVA LOGISTICS operates a reverse logistics solution for EV batteries to treat 80 percent of European folders by 2030

• The circular value chain that supports the electrical transmission of the auto industry
• The first battery logistics center was successfully tested on the CEVA site in Ghislenghien, Belgium
• Fifteen logistical centers for EV battery needs in the automotive industry

CEVA LOGISTICS, a leading global company in third -party logistics and final vehicle logistics player (FVL) in Europe, has announced a new reverse logistics solution for electric vehicle transport batteries (EV) at the end of life.

Since the electric and hybrid vehicle market has grown steadily in recent years, it is expected to reach about eight million Li -Ion battery to the end of life in Europe during the next five years (1). In conjunction with advanced environmental regulations, the recycling of vehicle batteries used is an economic and sustainable challenge to reduce pressure on the use of rare minerals and maintain natural resources.

A series of logistics and the full industrial supply chain to collect, evaluate and recycle EV batteries gradually, especially as the first batteries are now approaching the end of life.

Ceva Logistics, based on its expertise in the automotive sector, launches a comprehensive reverse logistical service to reuse or recycle EV batteries. CEVA is committed to creating circular valuable chains and supporting the auto sector in its technological development. Thanks to a multiple investment of millions of euros, CEVA targets the gradual expansion of the batteries dedicated to EV batteries across 10 European countries by 2027.

Three strategic columns in resolving the reverse logistics

Through deep experience in logistics services and a fixed infrastructure network throughout Europe, CEVA is in a good position to become a leader in the reverse logistics services of the electric vehicle batteries used.

The CEVA offer provides a concrete response to the increasing market requirements. The solution is designed to provide car manufacturers with a reliable, developmental solution that corresponds to the strict regulatory requirements for the processing of batteries.

Three strategic columns:

• Batteries and transport all over Europe: CEVA has transportation capabilities to collect batteries throughout Europe and ship them to recycling after treatment.
• A wide range of extended services: In the centers across the network, CEVA will publish added value services including the battery diagnosis, dismantling, renewal, or renewal of the increase in the value of the value through the re -use or recycling.
• Tracking and data management: Each battery will be tracked in the actual time throughout its journey, and it is monitored with an improved tracking, giving way to the full transparency of its condition.

The resolution of reverse logistics services depends on a European network and will be installed in France, the United Kingdom and Spain by the end of the year. CEVA plans to additional centers in Germany, Italy, Poland, Sweden, Switzerland, the Netherlands and the Czech Republic in 2026 and 2027. A preliminary pilot program began to verify the authenticity of the concept of the Battery Logistics Center in 2022 and is still running at the FVL axis in CEVA in washing, Belgium.

Each logistics center will be a battery in the designated areas of the FVL FVL platforms. Centers include specialized storage areas and safe containment units installed in containers controlled by the temperature equipped with shelves, temperature monitoring equipment and moisture and alarm systems around the clock throughout the week. Batter’s diagnoses, deep emptying, dismantling and renewal of their operations are performed in custom workshops.

Depending on ADR (2) transportation capabilities, CEVA organizes the battery group of car dealers, auto distributors and vehicle centers at the end of life. CEVA then analyzes the condition of the batteries to determine whether it should be dismantled or renewed. After controlling cache, CEVA offers stereotypes and waste to recycling centers or second life facilities.

“The auto industry is going through significant changes with the rise of electric cars,” said Matthew Friedberg, CEO of CEVA LOGISTICS. “Given the challenges of recycling and reusing batteries, it seemed necessary for us, relying on our logistical experience, to suggest strong and space solutions to support the automatic section in promoting the economy,” said Matthew Friedberg, CEO of CEVA LOGISTICS.
