EGARA is the European association of car dismantlers. We collect ELV’s rather than batteries and we take the batteries out of ELV’s according to the ELV Directive. For this we deal with mainly EV batteries, Automotive batteries and smaller system (backup) batteries (read: E-call, tire pressure, seat heating etc.).

What they argued
EGARA is the European association of car dismantlers. In this case we focus on traction batteries. A few items need special attention. Traction batteries are a class of their own. They are not just industrial batteries. They are used in vehicles used by mainly consumers or professional drivers on the road in cars, vans and even bigger commercial vehicles. Battery techniques change all the time.
We as EGARA feel that for correspondents guideline no 9, involving transboundary transport of vehicles, easier rules for distinguishing cars (products) from ELV's (waste) need to be added. Sometimes it's hard to decide if something is a car or an ELV. Several methods exist. One is not necessarily better than another, it depends on the specific case. Also a hierarchy in methods can be a solution.
