BA Energy, a specialist company in battery safety management systems (SMS), announced on the 20th that it will export Battery Safety Boxes to three Mercedes-Benz Asian countries: Japan, Thailand, and Vietnam.


BA Energy has obtained UN certification in the 'design testing and hazardous materials container inspection' category for the Battery Safety Box, a transport container for used batteries, and plans to export the safety boxes to three overseas Mercedes-Benz subsidiaries in Japan, Thailand, and Vietnam.


With this, the company will supply to a total of four countries, including the Mercedes-Benz Korea domestic business site.


The UN conducts safety inspections such as design approval and certification for containers packaging hazardous materials when these materials are transported by sea.


Through this UN certification, BA Energy has once again verified the safety of the safety box and expects further expansion of exports to global business sites such as electric vehicle manufacturers.


Currently, BA Energy has built trust in its products and services by supplying battery logistics solutions to domestic business sites including the Korea Environment Corporation under the Ministry of Environment, Volvo Group Korea, and Mercedes-Benz Korea.


BA Energy stated, "Since Mercedes-Benz operates 281 factories and dealerships worldwide, the order volume and sales countries for the safety box will continue to expand," adding, "A relatively large-scale supply is also scheduled for Volvo Korea's Changwon plant early next year."


In particular, as battery transport safety has become increasingly important due to frequent recent battery fire incidents, inquiries for orders are flooding in from Asian regions such as Malaysia, as well as the United States and Europe.



Kang Taeyoung, CEO of BA Energy, said, "This UN certification means that the Battery Safety Box (BSB) meets the essential requirements for overseas transportation," and added, "We plan to proceed with additional certifications and product advancement in countries where used battery businesses are actively developing, such as the United States."
