For cargo, battery-related updates dominate the Dangerous Goods Regulations (DGR) and Battery Shipping Regulations (BSR) in the 2026 manual. Data from IATA CargoIS says that the number of lithium batteries transported as cargo by air increased 25% year-on-year. Incidents involving overheating power banks have contributed to the need for revised regulations around the shipment of lithium batteries, says IATA. The emergence of new hybrid battery chemistries - particularly for hybrid vehicles \u2013 require updated shipping requirements. Key DGR changes cover the introduction of formalised shipping names for hybrid-powered vehicles, recommendations on the use of power banks and spare batteries by passengers in the cabin, updated variations for Thailand, France and the UK, standardised text for 290 existing operator variations, new shipper compliance checklist for battery shipments and the inclusion of Appendix H, which sets out changes expected in 2027."}
