NEW ADDITION TO OUR PRODUCT RANGE FOR THE IVECO DAILY Specially designed for the latest Iveco Daily models, our 610 404 068 battery has been incorporated into the VARTA Promotive Black range. Just like the original Iveco batteries, this battery features a lid with
countersunk caps and a base hold-down for vehicle installation. Thanks to this new battery, VARTA now provides the right battery for these popular Iveco vans, which weigh between 3.2 and 7 tonnes.
VARTA PERFORMS STRONGLY IN THE 2010 BEST BRANDS SURVEY Nearly 100,000 drivers (mostly men between the ages of 18 and 49 who spend a significant proportion of the year on the road) gave their verdict on their favourite models and supplier brands.

Dear readers, this year brings with it a whole range of innovations for you and your customers – all made by VARTA. Due to unforeseen factors coupled with unexpected demand for motorcycle batteries at the beginning of the year, we experienced some delays in getting motorcycle battery deliveries to our customers. These issues are now largely resolved, and I would like to apologise sincerely for any inconvenience caused. We are sure that our unique FreshPack 2in1 will generate plenty of market success in due course. The complete package 2in1 provides end consumers with a tailor-made pack to meet the challenges of any application. We’ll also be reporting on the latest commercial vehicle applications, where our innovative Promotive Trio is raising performance to a whole new level. With the holiday season ahead, we’ve also revamped our Leisure brochure, which now provides a comprehensive guide to VARTA Hobby batteries and their range of applications. I hope you enjoy reading this issue of PowerNews and look forward to receiving your feedback at
[email protected] behind Bosch. Compared with the previous year, positive responses for VARTA rose from 65.8 % to 69.2 % – representing a rise of 3.4 %, twice as high as that of the winner Bosch.
