MOBI Standards and Publications
Revolutionary technologies need robust standards for interoperability, safety, and innovation. MOBI develops these standards collaboratively, offering protocol-agnostic guidelines for self-sovereign identity and data across sectors, ensuring flexibility and adaptability.
Our standards enable seamless communication between products and services while promoting sustainable and secure ecosystems. By following them, companies improve efficiency, ensure compliance, and contribute to a decentralized, circular digital economy. Some standards are exclusive to MOBI Members—submit a Membership Inquiry to join us in shaping the future.
MOBI Standardized Schemas can be viewed here. These schemas are critical for implementation of Web3 Self-Sovereign Data and Identity, enabling data spaces interoperability. MOBI and our members are building the Web3 infrastructure for connected ecosystems and IoT commerce. Our goal is to make the digital economy more efficient, equitable, decentralized, and circular while preserving data privacy for users and providers alike. Get Involved
MOBI Trusted Trip
MOBI Trusted Trip combines secure decentralized sovereign identity with trusted timestamped locations to enable marginal cost pricing for many new classes of smart mobility transactions such as urban road tolling, meter-free parking, congestion management, carbon and pollution taxing, usage-based insurance, and many other usage-based Mobility as a Service (MaaS) multimodal applications.
MOBI Vehicle Identity (VID)
The VID Working Group aims to define a digital document that is a verifiable link to a specific vehicle — a minimum representation of that vehicle’s digital twin. MOBI VID contains key events in the life of a vehicle and can be used to establish existence, manage access control, and confirm ownership history.
MOBI Battery Initiative
MOBI collaborates with global public and private stakeholders to develop a compliant, industry-wide framework for secure data management, supporting seamless communication across production, maintenance, safety, second-life applications, and recycling. Through its Citopia Global Battery Passport System (GBPS) initiative, MOBI aims to enable privacy-preserving communication between enterprises, regulators, and consumers, fostering transparency and efficiency across the global battery value chain.

4. Global Battery Passport Decentralized Implementation — Technical Guidance
The Decentralized Implementation Guidelines standard provides recommendations on how to implement a decentralized, cross-border compliant ecosystem for a Global Battery Passport — a digital credential containing key information about the battery’s composition, state of health, history, and more, as defined by the EU Battery Regulation.
7. Electric Vehicle (EV) Battery State of Health (SOH) — Value Chain Mapping
The Electric Vehicle Battery SOH Value Chain Mapping outlines various stakeholders engaged in collection, publication, uptake, and other activities related to the SOH information. It describes those activities along with interfaces by which stakeholders share data.
7. Electric Vehicle (EV) Battery End-of-Life (EOL) Management — Business White Paper
The EV Battery EOL Management White Paper examines critical information sharing gaps in EV battery reuse, recycling, and repurposing; elaborates on the challenges these gaps introduce; explores global regulations on battery lifecycle traceability; and proposes solutions to enhance coordination and transparency in EV battery EOL management.
Electric Vehicle Grid Integration (EVGI)
The EVGI Working Group aims to aid the increasing adoption of electric vehicles by creating interoperable systems for governments, utilities, and the mobility industry alike. These systems will enable a better way to manage the grid load, calculate carbon offsets, and generate carbon credits, facilitating the implementation of peer-to-peer services.
1. EVGI — Business White Paper
The EVGI White Paper covers the current state of affairs with regard to powering electric vehicles, the growth of decentralized renewable energy production, and carbon credit generation/trading. The WP explores key use cases in interoperable system applications and explains the role of the standard in aiding this development.

The EVGI Technical Specifications specifies the high-level system design, reference architecture, multi-party processes, and data structures that are utilized throughout the ecosystem. The TS provides guidance toward the implementation of EVGI Standards, covering three primary use cases and their process flows.
Connected Mobility Data Marketplace (CMDM)
The CMDM Working Group aims to enable a DLT-based data marketplace for all stakeholders of the mobility ecosystem to effectively share data with their business partners while complying with emerging regulatory and industry best practices for preserving data privacy and property rights. CMDM Standards provide a foundation for a multitude of applications, including V2X data exchange, connected vehicle commerce, and sharing/monetizing AV driving data for better driving algorithms through ML.
1. CMDM — Business White Paper
The CMDM White Paper covers the current state of affairs with regard to mobility ecosystems and data exchange within the automotive industry. The WP explores key use cases in short, medium, and long-term time horizons, and explains the role of the standard to aid this development.
