Eurobat Committees
Four committees provide a platform for the majority of Eurobat's activities and are formed according to the needs and the objectives of the Association. The committees are divided into two service groups and two product-related sectors.
Committee for Environmental matters
The Committee for Environmental Matters ensures that our industry operates to the highest standards of environmental legislation, safeguarding the interest of those who work in the industry as well as its consumers.
Research & Technical Development (RTD) Committee
The Research and Technical Development Committee monitors and contributes to several RTD funding programs of the European Commission of the DG TREN and DG ENERGY in order to locate opportunities for RTD on batteries.
The 'storage' issue is a cross-cutting topic, linked to several applications and included as a 'bottleneck' in different EU program policy priorities. The RTD areas of interests are Automotive applications, Industrial Applications, Renewable Energy Systems, Fuel cells and Hydrogen Policy and Complementary Energy Storage Systems.
Automotive Batteries Committee
The Committee for Automotive Batteries monitors the European Starting, Lighting and Ignition (SLI) battery market and expands marketing initiatives to develop new demand for SLI batteries.
Industrial Batteries Committee
The Committee for Industrial Batteries is responsible for identifying accurate statistical information on the European industrial battery industry market supported by relevant industrial trends. Initiatives for industrial batteries are also developed by the committee to benefit users and our industry.
