And what better place to unveil the labelling programme than amongst CAAR’s growing rank of members. This was our third year of attending their conference and gala dinner and the reception we got this year at Birmingham’s Forest of Arden Golf &amp;amp; Country Club, particularly in relation to the labels launch, was extremely pleasing.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; “Overall, the two days presented us with the ideal platform from which to promote the labelling to a highly relevant audience of key players under the one roof,” he added.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;In order to maintain the dynamism of a product offering that sees oils continue to become increasingly manufacturer/model specific, the new online catalogue - available via ACDelco’s UK and European website, acdelco.eu.com - provides comprehensive details relating to a product range that covers the majority of today’s vehicle parc.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Alongside an informative and logically laid out application section is a clearly illustrated product guide, not to mention numerical index and useful competitive cross-reference section. For improved functionality, the online oil catalogue features a series of universally understandable symbols to improve parts identification.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Commenting on behalf of CAAR, Chief Executive, Mike Webb stated: “We have grown in strength with ACDelco over the last three years and it was great to see them use our event to support the roll out of their new oil labelling. As you would expect from a key aftermarket brand such as ACDelco, the labels are very leading edge in terms of their design and appearance and will most certainly be embraced by the aftermarket in general.”&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6738041233263784696-2898942998160186814?l=news.caar.co.uk' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://news.caar.co.uk/2011/06/acdelco-launches-slick-new-oil.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (David Owen)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-wTOmBhnU0kY/TfD-ho5eyOI/AAAAAAAAAC8/MF6cg0OQkjk/s72-c/ACDelco-oil-Web.jpg" height="72" width="72" /><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6738041233263784696.post-7321019062654712808</guid><pubDate>Thu, 09 Jun 2011 14:38:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2011-06-09T15:52:37.112+01:00</atom:updated><title>Start-Stop: A New Era In Battery Technology</title><description>&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-4W6vAXEhFqs/TfDeJ6-ajeI/AAAAAAAAAC0/2JQp_KaZL2g/s1600/Varta-Start-Stop-Shots-Web.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"&gt;&lt;img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 283px; height: 132px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-4W6vAXEhFqs/TfDeJ6-ajeI/AAAAAAAAAC0/2JQp_KaZL2g/s400/Varta-Start-Stop-Shots-Web.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5616232997362240994" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;As part of its on-going education programme, Manbat continues to communicate with CAAR members at events such as the recent CAAR Trade Show at the Forest of Arden, to explain the developments, challenges and opportunities presented by technological advances in battery design.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;We are all conscious of the need to protect the environment and to reduce global CO2 emissions and these topics present the car industry with enormous challenges, particularly with the advent of new EU regulations that will come into force next year.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;The directive will require vehicle manufacturers to reduce the maximum level of CO2 emissions across Europe to just 130 g/km. This will result in a substantial increase in the demands placed on vehicle batteries because in order to meet the target, vehicle manufacturers are going to need more than just improvements in engine management systems; they will also require innovative battery technologies.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;This development makes the issue of ‘hybrid technology’ more relevant than ever and vehicle manufacturers are considering a number of hybrid solutions. However, micro hybrid vehicles - which are generally referred to as Start-Stop vehicles - are set to become the most prominent. There are already around 2.8 million vehicles equipped with Start-Stop technology and the number is expected to rise to 30 million by 2015.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Batteries from Johnson Controls make up the vast majority of OEM batteries fitted to these micro hybrid vehicles and its aftermarket VARTA Start-Stop battery range reflects this position, with five VARTA Start-Stop with EFB (Enhanced Flooded Battery) technology and five VARTA Start-Stop Plus with AGM (Absorbent Glass Mat) technology batteries in the line up.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;VARTA Start-Stop batteries with EFB technology are ideally suited to vehicles with a standard, entry-level Start-Stop function.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;When the engine is switched off, they provide the vehicle’s electrical system with a reliable power supply and ensure that the engine restarts in a fraction of a second. Furthermore, they boast twice as much cyclic stability as conventional batteries and can be allowed to discharge more without any loss of functionality.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;VARTA Start-Stop Plus batteries are the perfect solution for vehicles featuring advanced Start-Stop technology with regenerative braking and additional fuel-saving technologies. Only the specially developed VARTA Start-Stop Plus batteries with AGM technology can meet the challenges imposed by these systems.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Compared to VARTA Start-Stop batteries, VARTA Start-Stop Plus batteries offer even greater performance and versatility, and are capable of reliably supplying power to an even greater range of devices.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Manbat is positively encouraging members to make preparations to gear up to deal with this new generation of batteries and as the approved supplier of VARTA batteries, they are perfectly placed to cater for the requirements of members looking at how to address this changing marketplace.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;For further details, please call Manbat customer services on: 01743 460790 or visit: www.manbat.co.uk&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6738041233263784696-7321019062654712808?l=news.caar.co.uk' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://news.caar.co.uk/2011/06/start-stop-new-era-in-battery.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (David Owen)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-4W6vAXEhFqs/TfDeJ6-ajeI/AAAAAAAAAC0/2JQp_KaZL2g/s72-c/Varta-Start-Stop-Shots-Web.jpg" height="72" width="72" /><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6738041233263784696.post-1570255368711592306</guid><pubDate>Thu, 09 Jun 2011 14:00:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2011-06-09T16:00:21.370+01:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Motor Racing</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Giveaway</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Free Tickets</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Comma</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Free</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Motorsport</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">F2</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Tickets</category><title>Comma Free Motorsport Ticket Giveaway is Back</title><description>&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-15KTMehd4UM/TfDToF1dCUI/AAAAAAAAACU/mTVBQrNlyU4/s1600/Comma2.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"&gt;&lt;img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 241px; height: 320px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-15KTMehd4UM/TfDToF1dCUI/AAAAAAAAACU/mTVBQrNlyU4/s320/Comma2.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5616221421045614914" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div&gt;Comma is celebrating its continuing Technical Partnerships with the FIA Formula Two championship and its operator, MotorSport Vision (MSV) with a massive ‘Motorsport Ticket Giveaway’ promotion.

Having repeated the move with the larger £300m turnover Quinton Hazell buyout in February of this year, and returned that part of the business to profitability within three months, market opinion is that he has pulled off yet another very shrewd deal.&lt;br /&gt;A leading panel of judges acting on behalf of EN magazine, ‘the magazine for Entrepreneurs’ has recognised the achievement, and chosen Tony for the coveted title of ‘Entrepreneur of the year’.&lt;br /&gt;Since the acquisition of the Emissions Control activities of ArvinMeritor Light Vehicle Aftermarket Europe, in 2007, Klarius has been the pace-setter in the European automotive aftermarket. The company spectacularly turned around a £7m operating loss on the Emissions Control division in its first full year of trading, and has gone from strength-to-strength with a host of new initiatives that have revolutionised what had become rather a stolid industry sector.&lt;br /&gt;Klarius also announced this month that the Group is posting ‘solid and substantial profits’ just six months after the multimillion pound buyout of automotive aftermarket giant Quinton Hazell (QH). The company has exceeded internal targets for reorganising the business, finding substantial efficiencies, and reaching overall profitability ahead of schedule. This positive situation has allowed Tony to bring plans for further acquisitions forward, based on a solid fiscal base with predicted organic growth also exceeding expectations.&lt;br /&gt;‘We went into the QH deal with a very pragmatic picture of what we could achieve in the short-term and a very positive plan for what we hoped to achieve in the future. Thanks to an excellent management team and some really hard work and outstanding commitment from all the employees within the Group we are already moving forward in a fast, profitable and sustainable manner. It is gratifying to be presented with the award as it reflects well on the entire organisation, not just the individuals at top management level.” said Tony&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;QH Clutch QH Steering Wix Filters QH Shock Absorbers QH Timing Belts QH Timing Belt Kits QH Brake Pads QH Brake SHoes&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6738041233263784696-833188386063059170?l=news.caar.co.uk' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://news.caar.co.uk/2010/12/qh-klarius-chairman-entrepreneur-of.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (David Owen)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6738041233263784696.post-1937042951542433423</guid><pubDate>Thu, 20 May 2010 13:28:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2010-05-21T11:25:53.345+01:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Launch</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">NOS</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Octane</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Wynn's</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Additives</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Boosters</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Fuel</category><title>Wynn's Launch NOS Octane Boosters</title><description>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_KTc5NvY465w/S_U6VyK5GyI/AAAAAAAAABY/0hTk7qklIiY/s1600/nos-blue-box.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 127px; height: 320px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_KTc5NvY465w/S_U6VyK5GyI/AAAAAAAAABY/0hTk7qklIiY/s320/nos-blue-box.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5473345068057828130" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_KTc5NvY465w/S_U59S2I9cI/AAAAAAAAABI/KjsXgoFt-mw/s1600/NOS+STREET+AND+RACE+FORMULA+%282%29_Page_1_Image_0003.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 131px; height: 320px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_KTc5NvY465w/S_U59S2I9cI/AAAAAAAAABI/KjsXgoFt-mw/s320/NOS+STREET+AND+RACE+FORMULA+%282%29_Page_1_Image_0003.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5473344647332427202" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;New from &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Wynn’s&lt;/span&gt; are the popular NOS Octane Boosters.&lt;br /&gt;Two different products are available; NOS Octane Booster Racing Formula and MAX Street.&lt;br /&gt;Racing Formula:&lt;br /&gt;• NOS performance for the serious enthusiast.&lt;br /&gt;• Developed to increase octane effect up to 60 points or 6 full octane numbers.&lt;br /&gt;• Blended with MMT and our performance enhancing Powertane, along with Nitro Methane and unique lubricants specially developed for high performance engines.&lt;br /&gt;Max Street:&lt;br /&gt;• NOS maximum performance for the street was developed to increase octane effect up to 30 points or 3 octane numbers.&lt;br /&gt;• Contains our unique performance-enhancing Powertane.&lt;br /&gt;• Restores and improves horsepower.

The traditional hi-vis vest, whilst functional, has been accused of being rather 'unflattering', which got us thinking about how it would look if there was a hi-vis vest that you weren't ashamed to wear."&lt;br /&gt;Sarah Easterby, Fashion Lecturer at Oaklands College said, "It's a fantastic opportunity to work iwth Comma on this safety campaign and for Oaklands fashion students to take part in a live project and gain hands-on experience.&lt;br /&gt;"This brief pushes the boundaries slightly but, I hope it reinforces the message that, however it looks, you should wear a  high visibilty vest if you have to get out of your car by the side of the road. This project channels the students' creative energy through a different avenue and will hopefully help to prepare them for the fashion industry."&lt;br /&gt;Comma's advice for any motorist who has the misfortune to break down at the side of the road is to put the visi vest on, vacate the car and move to a safe distance before calling and waiting for assistance. Mike Bewsey adds; "Our message about being safe and seen in the event of an accident or breakdown is a seriouus one but we hope this rather light-hearted approach will help raise awareness."&lt;br /&gt;For further information about the Safe and Seen campaign vist&lt;a href="http://www.safeandseen.co.uk/"&gt; &lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"&gt;www.safeandseen.co.uk&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;To find out more about Comma Oil and Chemicals visit &lt;a style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);" href="http://www.commaoil.com/"&gt;www.commaoil.com&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6738041233263784696-3441375485298036952?l=news.caar.co.uk' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://news.caar.co.uk/2010/01/comma-oil-commission-hi-vis-vests_06.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (David Owen)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6738041233263784696.post-1865181835122391044</guid><pubDate>Tue, 05 Jan 2010 17:12:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2010-01-05T17:58:37.719Z</atom:updated><title>UK Batteries Opens New Glasgow Depot</title><description>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.caar.co.uk/news/uploaded_images/UKBatteries-Logo-783479.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 299px; height: 60px;" src="http://www.caar.co.uk/news/uploaded_images/UKBatteries-Logo-783477.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;UK Batteries has further strengthened its position as a leading supplier of battery products in Scotland by opening a brand-new distribution depot in Glasgow.&lt;br /&gt;The decision to invest in a dedicated site in Scotland has been driven by UK Batteries’ desire to give its customers easy access to its market-leading battery brands that include the Platinum, Oldham, Crompton, and Tungstone names.&lt;br /&gt;With the addition of Glasgow to its distribution network, UK Batteries now has 7 depots in the UK – giving excellent geographical coverage for customers.&lt;br /&gt;“By opening a new depot in Glasgow, we will be able to give our ever-expanding customer base in Scotland an even stronger overall service package,” UK Batteries’ marketing and communications director, Neil Warren, explained.&lt;br /&gt;“We have invested in our own dedicated fleet of vehicles and drivers to service our customers in the region.

Power adaptors are available for keeping such gadgets charged on the move. However, buying special adaptors for all your electrical equipment is an expensive option.&lt;br /&gt;The best option for keeping gadgets powered while on the move is an inverter. Simply plug an inverter into a cigarette lighter socket and you have 240V AC electricity supply for charging in-car.&lt;br /&gt;New from Ring comes the MP120 compact inverter. Ring Automotive has combined its award winning inverter technology in an ultra slim design that provides 120w power output.&lt;br /&gt;The compact design along with a coiled DC cable allows the inverter to be positioned in a variety of places that are convenient and discreet. To securely fix in position the MP:120 is supplied with hook and eye tape.&lt;br /&gt;The MP120 also comes with a USB charging point to recharge mobile phones and MP3 players while at the same as using the mains power.&lt;br /&gt;Another clever design feature is a spring tension switch on the DC plug to ensure a secure connection for different sized cigarette lighter sockets. The unit is manufactured from scratchproof, shock-resistant ABS to match quality car interiors.&lt;br /&gt;For safety the inverter incorporates overload circuit protection to protect the vehicle, the powered appliance and of course the consumer.&lt;br /&gt;Product Manager David Smith says “The MP120 takes inverter technology to another level. Combining a sleek compact design with a powerful out put makes the MP120 an ideal match for the top-range gadgets being charged.”&lt;br /&gt;MP120 (Part Number RINV120 ) has a Suggested Retail Price of £34.99.

In superb retail packaging the entire range is extremely good quality and very competitively priced.&lt;br /&gt;Maypole’s Daniel Walton says, “ We were keen to ensure we had the best range of battery chargers this winter and we believe we’ve achieved it, with a concise range, which offers everything from a 4 amp plastic charger to a 700 amp Starter Charger.  In our Metal Cased Chargers our brand new 30 amp charger is out largest yet and will charge either 12 volt or 24 volt and through its built in boost function can charge as fast or slow as required”.&lt;br /&gt;The new charger compliments the existing 12 amp and 20 amp versions, and, says Daniel, “they are all ideal for any car owner”.&lt;br /&gt;“The Metal Battery Chargers have been proven now over the last year and our new 30 amp charger has already been selling extremely well”, he continued.&lt;br /&gt;Also, to add to the existing range of Starter Chargers Maypole have added two new models , the 170 amp and 250 amp chargers, which are ideal for any garage or forecourt where the boost function may be needed on vehicles left to stand or with poorer batteries.&lt;br /&gt;All of this new range also compliments the full range of plastic chargers, to which they have added a new Automatic 7 amp and a 12 amp in plastic.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;"&gt;Full details of Maypole’s range can be obtained from your local CAAR Store (click &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;" href="http://www.caar.co.uk/index.cfm"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;"&gt;) or by calling Maypole on 0121 423 3011.
