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.

Is this your organization?
Everything on this page comes from EGARA’s own submissions to the European Commission — we have added nothing and interpreted nothing. If something is wrong or out of date, email info@policyspeak.com and we will correct it. If you are an individual named in a record, our privacy policy sets out your rights to correction, objection and removal.
Quotes are verbatim from submissions published by the European Commission, trimmed to their opening passage and never summarized by a model. Organizations only, never individuals. Reused under Commission Decision 2011/833/EU; the European Commission is not liable for this reuse.
