Rebattex is a marketplace for used electric vehicle batteries, while LKQ Atracco specialises in vehicle parts and recycling. The two companies have now signed a framework agreement to resell suitable used batteries from LKQ Atracco’s workshops in Sweden and Norway. The collaboration aims to provide LKQ Atracco with access to potential buyers across Europe and “support transactions with structured battery information,” as stated in an accompanying announcement. Comprehensive documentation and traceability are mandatory for reselling batteries via Rebattex.
“Building a functioning market for used EV batteries takes more than bringing buyers and sellers together,” emphasised Rebattex CEO Andy Rietschel. “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.”
Based in Stockholm, Rebattex describes itself as Europe’s B2B exchange and digital trading infrastructure for verified, used electric vehicle batteries. The company aims to make the evaluation, pricing, and trading of used EV batteries more transparent and easier for all parties involved.
Magnus Tagesson, CEO of LKQ Atracco, commented: “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 announcement does not specify the expected volume of battery sales. Instead, it states that the shared goal is to make suitable batteries “more accessible for repair, reuse and other suitable applications.” The agreement is intended to serve as a foundation for further developing the collaboration over time.
