What does Environmental Vehicle Passport mean?
The Environmental Vehicle Passport brings together specified emissions, consumption, range, power and battery-durability information for a vehicle at registration. Euro 7 places an issuing duty on manufacturers, with staged applicability across vehicle categories. It is a vehicle record with its own rules, not another name for a battery passport.
Minespider working definition
An environmental vehicle passport is the Euro 7 digital vehicle record for prescribed environmental-performance information at registration.
Common boundary mistakes

Practical application
Keep vehicle registration, Euro 7 applicability stage and reported environmental values together; do not merge it with a battery passport.
Minespider commentary
Keep the registration-time environmental values and their vehicle identifier together, with later changes handled by the applicable rules.
Common confusions
- The Environmental Vehicle Passport and the battery passport are separate records under separate laws. Battery passport data can feed into it, but one does not replace the other.
