In a major step toward enhancing data collaboration in the automotive industry, DENSO recently became the first Japan-headquartered company to acquire the EcoPass certification from Catena-X. This milestone reinforces the importance of secure, standardized data exchange in advancing sustainability. As a key technology partner supporting DENSO’s certification, T-Systems is proud to have played a crucial role in this achievement by providing Connect & Integrate, a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) solution, for connecting with a dataspace.
Enabling secure data exchange in automotive supply chains
EcoPass, a certification within the Catena-X ecosystem, ensures that companies can exchange data securely and transparently while adhering to industry-defined standards. This is particularly relevant for Digital Product Passport (DPP) initiatives, which aim to improve traceability and sustainability across supply chains. DENSO's Digital Product Passport (DPP) application, currently in development, utilizes T-Systems' solution, certified by Catena-X, including Eclipse Dataspace Components (EDC) connectors to ensure seamless data flow while maintaining data sovereignty, a key requirement for companies operating in a global automotive supply chain.
Supporting compliance with the European Battery Regulation
One of the primary use cases for DENSO’s certified application is the Battery Passport, an upcoming requirement under the European Battery Regulation. This initiative will take effect in February 2027, requiring battery manufacturers to provide transparent information on materials, CO₂ emissions, and recyclability.
T-Systems, a leading German IT service provider and a subsidiary of Deutsche Telekom—the world’s most valuable telecommunications brand—has been a key contributor to the development of the Catena-X software stack. As a certified Business Application Provider within Catena-X, T-Systems ensures that DENSO’s Battery Passport application is future-proof, supporting regulatory requirements while fostering a more circular and sustainable economy.
