Ryde and EPTTAS enter partnership for Battery Safety Intelligence for micromobility

Ryde and EPTTAS have initiated a joint project to evaluate the application of EPTTAS’ Battery Safety Intelligence within micromobility operations. The project will be conducted across Ryde’s fleets in Oslo, Gothenburg, Helsinki, and Hamburg.

As shared electric mobility becomes an increasingly important part of urban transport systems, battery safety has received growing attention from cities, regulators, and emergency services. While battery-related incidents remain rare, events occurring in indoor environments can escalate and have significant consequences for public safety, property, and operational continuity.

The partnership will focus on testing and assessing how early insight into battery behaviour and potential risk based on operational data can support improved decision-making and situational awareness in large-scale micromobility operations. The collaboration is intended as a first phase, with the objective of enabling a broader rollout across Ryde’s operations in a subsequent phase.

“Trust is fundamental to the continued electrification of urban transport, from users, cities, and regulators alike,” says Robert Eriksen Jacobsen, CEO of EPTTAS. “This partnership allows us to further develop our solutions in close cooperation with an operator managing complex, real-world operations.”

“Battery safety is an important consideration for us as an operator of shared micromobility across multiple cities,” says CEO of Tobias W. Balchen at Ryde. “This collaboration enables us to test new tools and assess whether and how they can contribute to managing low-probability, high-impact risks in a more informed way.”

The partnership reflects a shared ambition to take a proactive and knowledge-based approach to safety as electric micromobility continues to scale across European cities.
