Absztrakt (kivonat)

This thesis investigates the proceedings of lithium-ion batteries throughout the supply chain and their growing presence in Hungary, with a particular focus on logistics, reverse logistics, and safety-critical operations. Hungary is presented as one of Europe’s leading battery production centres, driven by major investments from global manufacturers and strong integration with the automotive and energy sectors. The study begins with a detailed literature review of lithium-ion battery technologies, Hungary’s resource and industrial capabilities, supply chain management, and the specific risks posed by lithium-ion batteries, including thermal runaway, fire, and hazardous emissions. Methodologically, the research is based primarily on qualitative source analysis of EU, UN and Hungarian regulations, FM Global data sheets, industry reports, and DHL case studies, supplemented by two expert interviews with a dangerous goods logistics specialist and a warehouse practitioner. This approach enables a critical comparison between written regulatory requirements and their practical implementation in transport and storage, including multimodal shipping, warehouse design, fire protection, and handling of damaged or end-of-life batteries. The results show that while Hungary’s battery logistics sector is expanding rapidly, infrastructure, fire and environmental risk management, and reverse logistics systems lag behind production growth. Production, transport, storage, usage and especially collection and recycling of lithium-ion batteries are all identified as critical from a regulatory perspective, requiring strict adherence to ADR, IMDG, IATA, IEC standards and national rules. The thesis concludes that Hungary can implement effective logistics systems by reinforcing regulatory compliance, investing in specialized storage and charging infrastructure, developing robust reverse logistics and recycling networks, strengthening professional training, and fostering collaboration between industry, regulators and research institutions. Limitations stem from the fast-changing regulatory environment and limited Hungarian-specific EOL data, and future research is recommended on Hungarian gigafactory processes, diverse battery chemistries, and practical end-of-life and reverse logistics solutions.
