As part of this activity, customer requirements for efficient and process-reliable logistics for Li-ion batteries are becoming increasingly important. Factors such as long procurement routes from China, fluctuating sales volumes, complex approval requirements as well as aspects of service, 2nd life and disposal must be taken into account.
