摘要

As electric vehicle adoption rises, efficient management of end-of-life (EoL) batteries through an effective reverse supply chain is becoming increasingly critical to achieving circular economy goals. An effective reverse supply chain requires strong traceability, transparency, and visibility (TTV). However, existing studies often explore these dimensions in isolation, lacking an integrated approach to improving TTV in EVB reverse logistics. This study aims to bridge that gap by identifying and analyzing key enablers that enhance TTV in the EVB reverse supply chain. Using a systematic literature review guided by the PRISMA protocol, ten relevant enablers were identified. The Total Interpretive Structural Modelling (TISM) method was applied to explore interrelationships among the enablers, while MICMAC analysis was used to classify them based on driving and dependence power. Findings reveal that government regulations, consumer awareness, and organizational commitment are the most influential enablers, while digital passports, modular design, and data sharing are the most dependent. This hierarchical and classification-based understanding provides practical insights for policymakers, manufacturers, and supply chain managers. By addressing the fragmented treatment of TTV in existing research, this study contributes an integrated framework that supports future advancements in EVB recycling, promotes circular economy practices, and reduces dependency on scarce raw materials.
