The electrification of transport and environmental friendliness of batteries is a hot topic amongst car manufacturers and consumers, but Toyota wants to tackle the carbon challenge more holistically. \u2018The Batteries Regulation, entering into force in June, is one of the things that affect the car industry\u2019s responsibility trends,\u2019 says Pekka Karvinen from Toyota Auto Finland.<\/p>\n

The European Union is adopting a new Batteries Regulation, which will harmonise the regulations on the entire lifecycle of batteries across the EU. The legislation will also finally include requirements on product design, the end users\u2019 role and promotion of recycled raw material markets.<\/p>\n

Toyota Auto Finland\u2019s Communications Manager Pekka Karvinen<\/strong> believes that the new Batteries Regulation will help the car industry work towards circular economy and responsibility. The importer\u2019s parent company that represents Toyota and Lexus, Toyota Motor Europe, has taken part in preparing the EU regulation through communities that look after the interests of the industry.<\/p>\n

\u2018Toyota is a big player in Europe, and others tend to listen to it in these sort of matters. We have been paying a lot of attention to the new battery regulation and have looked into various options of adopting a battery passport, for example,\u2019 Karvinen says.<\/p>\n

\u2018When it comes to the work carried out by the Finnish importer and retail network, the new regulation will have the most concrete impact on the handling of faulty and damaged high-voltage batteries. The regulation will provide new guidelines for these instances for repair shops and scrapyards,\u2019 Karvinen continues.<\/p>\n

Carbon, not the internal combustion engine, is the enemy<\/h2>\n

According to the European Commission\u2019s policies, all new cars entering the market must be zero-carbon ones from 2035 onwards. In other words, consumers are directed away from fossil fuels towards vehicles that run on electricity or hydrogen.<\/p>\n

\u2018This is a challenge that the car industry will begin to tackle in the next few years. Toyota has been talking about the electrification of transport since the end of the 1990s, but the current debate seems to focus too heavily on just one part of the problem,\u2019 Karvinen says.<\/p>\n

\u2018None of us is hoping that the zero-carbon legislation will be cancelled, but we are happy to take part in discussing the timeframe and how realistic it is. Even if we manufacturers were able to produce zero-carbon cars, society\u2019s preparedness must also be taken into account,\u2019 Pekka Karvinen concludes.<\/p>\n

\u2018As fully electric cars have become more common, the debate about the natural resources used for their batteries has also heated up. Batteries provide an easy argument on how responsible cars are, because they are so valuable but at the same time harmful to the environment,\u2019 Karvinen says. He explains that different options are considered as a whole at Toyota, not by valuing one over another.<\/p>\n

\u2018Our message is that the enemy is carbon, not the internal combustion engine. Reducing the amount of carbon, for example with biofuels or synthetic alternatives, might have some potential, but developing these alternatives is not viable unless legislation encourages it.\u2019<\/p>\n

Lead-acid and small batteries will remain necessary<\/h2>\n

\u2018In addition to the starter and traction batteries, cars contain several smaller batteries as well. The most familiar ones for the consumers are the button cell batteries in car keys. They will not disappear anywhere, at least in the near future, even though the technology already exists for getting rid of physical keys,\u2019 Karvinen says.<\/p>\n

\u2018Lead-acid batteries also remain victorious: regardless of the propulsion system, every Toyota and Lexus that leaves the factory has a 12-volt lead-acid battery,\u2019 says Karvinen.<\/p>\n

\u2018Lead-acid batteries offer a lot of benefits: they are inexpensive and reliable. Unless they are specifically banned, they will remain in use for a long time to come.\u2019<\/p>\n

Pekka Karvinen says that the current debate emphasises the recyclability of the larger components, but the smaller power supplies are not associated with any major problems either. The small batteries of control units have been designed to last until the end of a car\u2019s lifespan, and the lithium-ion battery of a key is easy to replace at a car dealership.<\/p>\n

The Batteries Regulation sets recycling targets for different battery categories, but also the main raw materials used in batteries. This means that the increasing number of batteries entering the market and stricter recycling requirements will lead to a rise in the collected volumes of batteries in the next few years.<\/p>\n

\u2018The customers of Toyota\u2019s Finnish network can trust that the batteries they return to shops will be recycled correctly \u2013 the audits required by the manufacturer guarantee this,\u2019 says Karvinen.<\/p>\n

\u2018What is particularly nice about lead-acid batteries is that their collection rate in Finland is in practice 100%. However, in Europe, it will take some effort to raise the recycling rate of low-voltage batteries, and the Batteries Regulation will play an important role in that,\u2019 Karvinen continues.<\/p>\n

New battery types expected to be light and recyclable<\/h2>\n

The development and research work on batteries is yielding battery types that are completely new. Finding increasingly good options is in the interests of all manufacturers that use batteries, but the car industry, in particular, is interested in this development. The car industry has a constant need for recyclable, sustainable and energy-dense batteries that are simultaneously compact in size.<\/p>\n

Karvinen gives an example: instructions on a fuel-efficient driving style advise drivers to remove all unnecessary items from the car in order to lessen the load, thereby saving fuel. The batteries in fully electric cars are large, and it takes a significant amount of energy to get them moving. Reducing the battery size would also reduce the amount of power required.<\/p>\n

\u2018New battery types have been designed for years, but some of them are not the most suitable for cars. A solid-state battery could be the next step in that area of development. We at Toyota have been studying this type and will continue to do so going forward,\u2019 Karvinen explains.<\/p>\n

In recent years, car manufacturers have begun to realise their environmental responsibilities increasingly well. For example, bumpers use recycled plastic and synthetic alternatives have been adopted for the upholstery. \u2018However, for an average consumer, it is the zero local emissions that matter the most, as it usually means low fuel consumption,\u2019 Karvinen says. \u2018The debate on the propulsion system options does have merit, but sometimes it seems that people forget that a responsible approach involves multiple elements,\u2019 he says.<\/p>\n

\u2018In an ideal world, 100 per cent of car parts could be recycled, from boot to bonnet. However, we cannot reach this goal if we only focus on the problems of one component,\u2019 Pekka Karvinen concludes.<\/p>\n
