The rapid growth of small electric vehicles—bicycles, scooters, and other light vehicles—is driving an increasing demand for sustainable maintenance solutions. By significantly extending battery life, Valeo and VoltR provide an answer to this demand while also reducing the environmental footprint associated with the production of new batteries and their disposal. The offering is particularly aimed at ensuring a reliable supply chain of refurbished components for fleet operators, vehicle manufacturers, repair networks, and battery producers.

Reduce Waste

The partnership combines the expertise of the French automotive supplier in the repair and refurbishment of electronic components and small mobility batteries with VoltR's knowledge in manufacturing energy packs from reused cells. Together, the companies aim to achieve nearly 100 percent repairability.

The partnership between Valeo and VoltR aligns with the principles of the circular economy. The developed process enables the diagnosis and repair of used batteries. If a cell needs to be replaced, VoltR provides refurbished energy packs with a compatible cell reference to maintain the original certifications and performance of the pack. This gives the components a second life and minimizes waste. This joint approach not only guarantees the optimal performance of repaired batteries but also significantly contributes to the reduction of lithium waste in particular. (se)
