What applies to you

Which EPR a Automotive business must register for

You put these on the market — so each of these applies. Start with your primary obligation.

What triggers it: Vehicles sold under your brand · Batteries fitted to vehicles · Spare-parts & accessories packaging

In practice

What EPR actually looks like for automotive & OEM companies

OEMs carry ELV EPR — annual scrapping targets based on the steel in vehicles sold 15–20 years ago (15 years for transport vehicles, 20 for non-transport), met through steel-based certificates from registered scrapping facilities — alongside Battery EPR for the batteries fitted to every vehicle. Tyre EPR applies only if you import vehicles fitted with new tyres, and Used-Oil EPR only if you manufacture or import lubricating oil. Running the streams as one coordinated programme avoids duplicated effort and gaps.
