ACDelco Launches Slick New Oil Labelling At CAAR Show

noreply@blogger.com (David Owen) — Thu, 09 Jun 2011 17:08:00 +0000

Leading UK and European aftermarket components supplier, ACDelco, used its

attendance at the recent two day CAAR trade show conference to launch a new look labelling programme across its oils range.

Introduced to add further growth impetus to an already dynamic product offe

ring that has recently benefitted from the introduction of four new fully synthetic oils and

an online lubricants product catalogue, the new labelling is bold, vibrant and striking.

To be rolled out on all 1 and 5 litre containers covering the entire ACDelco oils range, the new labels are visually informative and have been designed to improve product identification at point-of-sale.

Commenting on this latest development, ACDelco’s General Manager, Lee Quinney said: “The new look labelling will help further increase the visibility of oils within ACDelco’s lubricants product range in front of that all important audience, the customer, whilst also strengthening brand awareness. 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 & Country Club, particularly in relation to the labels launch, was extremely pleasing.

“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.

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.

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.

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.”

Start-Stop: A New Era In Battery Technology

noreply@blogger.com (David Owen) — Thu, 09 Jun 2011 14:38:00 +0000

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

VARTA Start-Stop batteries with EFB technology are ideally suited to vehicles with a standard, entry-level Start-Stop function.

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.

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.

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.

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.

QH Klarius Chairman Entrepreneur of the Year

noreply@blogger.com (David Owen) — Wed, 08 Dec 2010 22:00:00 +0000

Tony Wilson Chairman and COO of the Klarius Group is credited with purchasing and swiftly returning to profitability the emissions control division of Arvin Meritor in 2007. 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.
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’.
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.
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.
‘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

Comma Oil Commission Hi-Vis Vests

noreply@blogger.com (David Owen) — Wed, 06 Jan 2010 14:53:00 +0000

A class of design students has gone some way to proving that a high-visibilty vest doesn't have to be a fashion faux-pas in an effort to raise awareness of roadside safety among young motorists.
Car care company Comma has been urging motorists to carry a hi-vis vest in their cars as more than 180 people are killed or seriously injured each year by the side of the road.
Research has shown that young people are amongst those most at risk of an accident by the side of the road, with people under 25 accounting for more than 40 percent of the fatalities and injuries over the last 12 months.
Comma commissioned the 18 students at Oaklands College in St. Albans to design hi-vis vests that are cut with a little more panache than the typical roadworker's uniform.
Sporting chic buttons, collars and even feathers, the Oaklands studnets' designs might not meet the British regualtory standards for safety garments but htey are, at least, a range of hi-vis vests that don't sacrifice style.
With accidents at night twice as likely to lead to a fatality, research has shown that wearing a hi-vis vest increases the distance at which drivers can spot a pedestrian by up to 400 percent.
Comma's Mike Bewsey said, "If you break down at night and get out of the car, without hi-vis clothing you're effectively invisible. 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."
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.
"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."
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."

UK Batteries Opens New Glasgow Depot

noreply@blogger.com (David Owen) — Tue, 05 Jan 2010 17:12:00 +0000

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.
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.
With the addition of Glasgow to its distribution network, UK Batteries now has 7 depots in the UK – giving excellent geographical coverage for customers.
“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.
“We have invested in our own dedicated fleet of vehicles and drivers to service our customers in the region. This means we can offer a more frequent delivery service, attend to our customers’ needs on site and it will also be much easier for us to collect scrap batteries for our very successful lead recycling programme.
“This is another positive step in the development of UK Batteries and illustrates our commitment to making sure our customers receive only the best products and service – two elements that are vital to the success of their own businesses.”
UK Batteries marked the official opening of its new distribution depot in Glasgow by treating some of its Scottish customers to a golf day at the exclusive St Andrews course – the venue for the 2010 Open Championship.

ACDelco Launch 20 New Clutch Kits

noreply@blogger.com (David Owen) — Tue, 05 Jan 2010 14:45:00 +0000

Parts giant ACDelco has launched 20 new three-piece clutch kits which come complete with a Concentric Slave Cylinder (CSC).
The concentric slave cylinder assembly has been around for over 10 years and is designed to operate directly in front of the clutch cover assembly. By incorporating the hydraulic function (normally carried out by a conventional clutch slave cylinder) into the release bearing carrier, the unique design eliminates the need for complex and sometimes expensive clutch release fork and linkage mechanisms.
Direct hydraulic load applied to the clutch via the master cylinder and concentric slave cylinder provides less pedal effort, and overcomes the possible loss of bearing travel due to wear often associated with conventional linkage or cable type systems.
The new ACDelco kits cover many popular Ford and Vauxhall models including the Mondeo, Focus, Astra and Corsa and compliment the existing, comprehensive ACDelco clutch range for vehicles fitted with conventional release bearings.
Clutch kits are only one of a wide range of ACDelco vehicle components which include Filters (air, oil, fuel and cabin/pollen), Spark Plugs, Glow Plugs, Bulbs, Brake Pads, Shoes and Discs, Wiper Blades, Oils and Drive Belts (including Timing Belts).
ACDelco has been supplying high-quality parts (both OE & Aftermarket) for
over 100 years and is a subsidiary of the giant GM group.
ACDelco components are available from selected CAAR member stores. For more details on ACDelco and its products please click here.

Ring provide portable power

noreply@blogger.com (David Owen) — Wed, 16 Dec 2009 10:59:00 +0000

The explosion in portable electronics such as Blackberrys, mobile phones and lap tops has changed they way we work.
More of us now work away from the office, using cars as an office on wheels. 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
For safety the inverter incorporates overload circuit protection to protect the vehicle, the powered appliance and of course the consumer.
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.”
MP120 (Part Number RINV120 ) has a Suggested Retail Price of £34.99. It’s available now and makes a great Christmas gift.

UFI Filters OE Supply to Volkswagen

noreply@blogger.com (David Owen) — Tue, 15 Dec 2009 16:42:00 +0000

Volkswagen, known worldwide for the high quality and reliability of its vehicles, has joined the growing list of automobile manufacturers choosing UFI Filters as OE.
With the complex technology of modern vehicles, an advanced filtering system is essential and the filtering systems, which are installed in the new Polo, expand the range of Volkswagen automobiles fitting UFI as OE and are adaptable for the new generation of vehicles.
UFI manufactures a complete air filter for the 1.6 TDI CR engine on the new Polo. The filters offer high filtering efficiency, stopping even the smallest particles, and a high life span, due to the presence of a pre-filter on the cartridge that increases the filters absorption capacity. The centrifugal effect created also prevents water from entering the filter and separates a greater amount of dust.
The cartridge contains no metal elements (making it environmentally friendly) and is easy to install and maintain. In fact, the filtering elements are equipped with a simple fasten/release system that allow easy servicing and replacement and a washer inserted on the fastening section guarantees a perfect filter seal.
The same vehicle is equipped with an extremely compact and robust, UFI diesel fuel filter, which uses a folded technological paper cartridge onto which a synthetic fibre layer is applied. This combination offers a very high filtering capacity (94% of 3-5 microns pollutant particles) with an average life of 60,000 km, before having to be replaced.
UFI Filters are distributed by Universal Automotive who can be contacted on 01562 512512 or visit their website by clicking here.
