As a technology partner and sponsor, VARTA is supporting the T Sport Bernau team starting this year's racing season, which has been successful for them in the FIA European Truck Racing Championship for years. The partnership gives VARTA the opportunity to showcase the high performance of its AGM batteries under the toughest conditions.

The British racing team T Sport Bernau can hardly wait for the start of the new season in May. Up to 400,000 spectators are expected at the 8 races on legendary tracks such as the Nürburgring or Le Mans. What’s going to make this year’s truck racing season even better is the team’s partnership with VARTA.

T Sport Bernau has been using VARTA batteries in its race truck and in the trailer that transports the truck for a long time. The result: VARTA AGM batteries meet the highest requirements for cycle stability, vibration and heat resistance – whether on the road or on the racetrack. It’s why VARTA is exactly the strong partner that can now support T Sport Bernau even better with its technical expertise.

“Fleets can rely 100 percent on our batteries – and it’s the same for truck racing teams,” says Guido Schneider, Vice President Sales Aftermarket at Clarios, the company behind the VARTA automotive brand. Team managers Melanie Derflinger and Tim Frost from T Sport Bernau add: “We are pleased to bring even more technical developments to this year’s race truck, which we hope will make us even more competitive as well as bring new team partners on board who we are excited to be working with.”

Platform for sustainable technologies
The FIA European Truck Championship is on its way to becoming the leading platform for sustainable technologies in road haulage. Since last season, for example, all participants have been driving with 100 percent renewable fuel. T Sport Bernau has also taken steps to become even more environmentally friendly. This includes the VARTA batteries with their closed recycling loop. Due to their performance, they are the driving force behind many fuel-saving new developments.
