These days, conventional batteries have a hard time keeping up with the large amount of energy-draining electrical functions that modern trucks are equipped with. Trucks are on the road for longer which means more overnight stays in the cabin – with increased expectations regarding to comfort. Refridgerators, microwaves, coffee machines and entertainment electronics lead to deeply discharged batteries after the rest periods. On top of that , there is an increasing number of EU legislations to be met. Advanced fuel saving technologies like coasting/sailing and passive boost are on the rise in order to reduce CO2-emissions and overall consumption. Together with AdBlue ® tanks taking up additional space, this often makes an end of frame installation close to the rear axle necessary, subjecting the battery to increased vibrations. High robustness and vibration resistance are therefore required. THE MANUFACTURER'S CHOICE “Some of the biggest manufacturers therefore turned to us with a request to collaborate on the development of a solution. That’s how the VARTA ProMotive AGM came into being”, explains Thorsten Werle, Engineering Design Lead Heavy Duty at Clarios EMEA. VARTA is the market and technology leading brand in the field of commercial vehicle and car batteries. The ProMotive AGM combines the know-how from both product lines and draws on 20 years of experience in producing advanced AGM batteries. With an Original Equipment market share of 65% in the European heavy duty battery business, VARTA is the manufacturer's choice when it comes to fitting the best battery technology available. The VARTA ProMotive AGM has passed both lab and road tests and fulfills all four key requirements to be labelled an original spare part: • Cold cranking power • Cycling performance & deep discharge capabilities • Vibration resistance • Charge acceptance “Long-term trials have confirmed that the VARTA ProMotive AGM lives up to the promises we made about it. Major manufacturers have approved the battery and are integrating the AGM as Original Equipment into their latest generation of heavy commercial vehicles”, says Werle. WHAT IS THE VARTA PROMOTIVE AGM? The VARTA ProMotive AGM is Europe’s first AGM battery for commercial vehicles. AGM stands for Absorbent Glass Mat. The name-giving fleece absorbs the battery acid and increases cycle stability. This prevents loss of capacity due to acid stratification, the main cause of battery failure in ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT MANUFACTURERS MAKE THE VARTA ® PROMOTIVE AGM THEIR FIRST CHOICE. Clarios, the global market leader in advanced energy storage solutions has a long history of working with vehicle man- ufacturers to develop best-in-class batteries. In order to ensure the full functionality and readiness of the latest gene- ration trucks, the VARTA ProMotive AGM battery was conceived in close collaboration with Europe's leading commercial vehicle manufacturers.
