ACDelco's new EFB solution is purpose-built for durability, boasting double the lifecycle compared to standard Starting, Lighting, and Ignition (SLI) batteries, while enduring the frequent charge and discharge cycles common in urban driving.

Key technical features include High Charge Acceptance, engineered with special active mass and a scrim material plate design, enabling fast recovery during regenerative braking.

The technology also reduces carbon emissions, marking a significant advancement in performance, while offering customers a high-value, long-term power solution.

Ehab Daoud El Ramahi, General Manager of Sales & Marketing at ACDelco commented:“With over a century of automotive excellence, ACDelco continues to lead with innovation tailored to the evolving needs of Middle East drivers.
