Battery Logistics
The world’s shift towards electrification is driving increasing demand for batteries. But getting batteries from point A to point B isn’t so simple.
For example, different countries and regions have varying regulations that govern the distribution, recycling and end-of-life handling of these dangerous goods. Depending on their application, batteries also vary widely in their sizes and weights – and each have their own specific handling requirements. As a result, businesses need expert support at the global and local levels to help them manage the challenges inherent in these new supply chains.
