<\/p>\nAs part of its ongoing awareness\u00a0campaign,\u00a0ECOBAT\u00a0Battery Technologies (ECOBAT), the pan-European business behind Lucas Batteries, has catapulted the globally recognised brand back into the limelight as it takes its place on the British Touring Car Championship (BTCC) grid for the 2020 season.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
ECOBAT\u00a0has supported\u00a0BTCC\u00a0rookie Jack\u00a0Butel\u00a0as he\u00a0has\u00a0been\u00a0establishing\u00a0his racing career and it\u00a0is this\u00a0on-going commitment\u00a0that\u00a0has allowed\u00a0him and the Lucas Batteries brand\u00a0to team up with\u00a0Ciceley\u00a0Racing and join the\u00a0CarlubeTripleR\u00a0Racing Mac Tools operation to take a seat\u00a0at the top\u00a0table\u00a0of\u00a0British\u00a0motorsport\u00a0for the 2020 season.
\nAlthough much delayed due to the coronavirus pandemic, the revised multi-race schedule sees the\u00a0BTCC\u00a0carnival visit nine circuits in a frenetic 15 weeks from the start of August through to mid-November, which will no doubt, provide some spectacular on-track action.<\/p>\n
\u201cJack is a\u00a0young and\u00a0up-and-coming driver with a great future ahead of him,\u201d explains Steve Sheppard,\u00a0ECOBAT\u2019smanaging director \u201cand we\u00a0are\u00a0responsible for a brand that,\u00a0although\u00a0it\u00a0continues to go from strength-to-strength, is\u00a0as old as the car itself, which makes the Lucas Batteries\u00a0and\u00a0Jack\u00a0Butel\u00a0partnership such an engaging\u00a0combination.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere is no more competitive field of motorsport than the\u00a0BTCC\u00a0and\u00a0there are few markets as competitive as the battery business, so\u00a0clearly,\u00a0the\u00a0synergies\u00a0go beyond the fact that there are few automotive brands that have the\u00a0resonance\u00a0that\u00a0the Lucas Batteries name has with\u00a0both the\u00a0trade and consumer alike.<\/p>\n
\u201cJoining the\u00a0BTCC\u00a0carnival is\u00a0therefore a great opportunity and we naturally\u00a0wish Jack and the team all the very best for the season and look forward to seeing Lucas Batteries back on track and in the thick of the action.\u201d<\/p>\n
As a well-established player, distributing prominent brands such as Exide,\u00a0VARTA\u00ae and\u00a0Numax, as well as Lucas,\u00a0to wholesalers across the independent aftermarket,\u00a0ECOBAT\u00a0has built its reputation by providing its\u00a0customers with a level of service that reaches far beyond mere battery sales.\u00a0This means it has an\u00a0unrivalled ability to supply wholesalers with the batteries they need, when their\u00a0customers\u00a0need\u00a0them.<\/p>\n
Underpinning the\u00a0ECOBAT\u00a0sales team, is a 13-stong national branch network\u00a0across the UK and Ireland, which means that\u00a0as well as outstanding knowledge and service,\u00a0the company\u2019s customers also benefit from\u00a0excellent availability\u00a0of the industry\u2019s most prominent brands<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
