Recital 46

(46) In order to facilitate the end-of-life treatment of vehicles, manufacturers should provide, via digital tools, accurate, complete and up-to-date information on the safe removal and replacement of vehicle parts and components. A digital circularity vehicle passport should therefore be developed and made available as a data carrier for such information, in a manner that is consistent with other digital information tools and platforms that already exist or are in further development in the automotive sector on the environmental performance of vehicles and aligned with corresponding provisions in Regulations (EU) 2023/1542, (EU) 2024/1781 and (EU) 2024/1257 (13) of the European Parliament and of the Council. In order to ensure uniform conditions for the implementation of this Regulation, implementing powers should be conferred on the Commission to lay down the technical design and operation requirements for the passport and rules on location of the data carrier or other identifier enabling accessing the passport on the vehicle. When laying down the rules for the digital circularity vehicle passport, the Commission should take into account the need for the high level of security and privacy, including on vehicles’ operating data to prevent cybersecurity threats.
