Product data for tyres and automotive components
For tyre manufacturers and component suppliers that are asked for more product data every year.
- Legal basis
- Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (EU) 2024/1781 for tyres; End-of-Life Vehicles Regulation (EU) 2026/1738 for vehicles; Batteries Regulation (EU) 2023/1542 for traction batteries
- Status
- Mixed. For tyres the working plan names 2027 as an indicative date. The End-of-Life Vehicles Regulation (EU) 2026/1738, in force since 13 August 2026 and applying from 1 September 2028, provides for a digital vehicle passport after a transition period of several years. Traction batteries need a passport from 18 February 2027.
- Platform
- Configured per project
Challenge
The challenge: three sets of rules, one supply chain
Automotive products are touched by several regulations at once. Tyres are on the ecodesign working plan, vehicles receive their own digital passport under the end-of-life rules, and traction batteries fall under the Batteries Regulation with a fixed date.
For a component supplier the practical effect comes earlier than any legal date: customers ask for material composition, recycled content and dismantling information in their own formats. Every request is answered by hand, from the same underlying data.
Functions
How the platform supports automotive suppliers
- A field set for your parts, configured with you
- Part numbers, materials, recycled content and dismantling information in a structure that fits your customers’ questions.
- Requests to your own suppliers
- Compounders, material suppliers and sub-suppliers deliver their share field by field.
- Restricted audiences
- Dismantling information can be reserved for parties with a legitimate interest.
- Export for customer formats
- Product lists can be exported as CSV today; customer-specific formats are scoped in a project.
Process
Use case: a component supplier
A supplier of interior parts receives recurring data requests from two customers.
Collect the questions
The customers’ questionnaires are compared and reduced to one field set.
Fill once
Data per part number is entered and completed with supplier requests.
Review
Quality or compliance staff approve supplier data before it is used.
Answer from the record
Customer requests are answered from the reviewed record instead of from scratch.
Data
Typical data
- Part number and identification
- Material composition
- Recycled content
- Substances of concern
- Dismantling information
- Manufacturer and plant
Benefits
What you gain
- One maintained record instead of repeated questionnaires
- Reviewed supplier data with a history
- Preparation for tyre and vehicle passport rules as they become concrete
- Clarity about which parts lack data
The platform is not connected to automotive industry data systems or data spaces. Whether and how such a connection is needed is clarified in the project.
