Rebattex and LKQ Atracco have signed a framework agreement to expand the resale of used electric vehicle batteries from recycling and workshop facilities in Sweden and Norway through Rebattex’s digital marketplace.
The partnership will give LKQ Atracco access to potential buyers across Europe while providing structured battery information to support transactions. Batteries listed on the platform must meet documentation and traceability requirements.
Marketplace for Refurbished EV Batteries
Stockholm-based Rebattex operates a business-to-business marketplace for verified used electric vehicle batteries. Its platform is designed to improve transparency in battery evaluation, pricing and trading.
LKQ Atracco specialises in automotive parts and vehicle recycling. Under the agreement, suitable used batteries from its Swedish and Norwegian operations will be offered to buyers through Rebattex.
Rebattex CEO Andy Rietschel said reliable information and traceability are essential to developing a functioning market for used EV batteries.
Building a functioning market for used EV batteries takes more than bringing buyers and sellers together. It requires trust, traceability, and clear information throughout the transaction. Our cooperation with LKQ Atracco is an important step towards making that market work in practice.
Supporting Battery Reuse and Circularity
LKQ Atracco CEO Magnus Tagesson said the partnership could create additional opportunities to reuse batteries recovered through automotive recycling operations.
Used EV batteries are a valuable resource, and a stronger market can create more opportunities for them to be put to productive and circular reuse. We see potential in combining our experience in automotive recycling with REBATTEX’s dedicated platform for trusted battery transactions.
The companies have not disclosed expected sales volumes or financial targets. Their initial objective is to make suitable batteries more accessible for vehicle repairs, reuse and other applications.
The framework agreement is intended to establish a basis for expanding cooperation as the European market for used electric vehicle batteries develops.
