Yes! Over 1/3 of all cars on the road today worldwide have Clarios-made batteries in them. Our batteries are sold under leading brand names that you know. You can walk into stores in your town and buy batteries manufactured in Clarios plants. And, brand new cars roll off the assembly lines in factories all over the world including the US with Clarios-made batteries within them. If you are driving a Ford, Honda, GM, Toyota, Nissan or Subaru, there is probably a Clarios battery inside it.

Clarios has a solid future as a global leader in low voltage batteries – because all types of cars need these batteries. It does not matter if the automotive manufacturer is making internal combustion engines or battery electric vehicles, we have a wide range of products to meet all powertrain needs. With nearly 100 million vehicles being produced globally every year and 1.7 billion cars on the road by the end of the decade, there is a large (and continually growing) market that will continue to require our batteries. 

You may not have heard of Clarios, but you likely have heard of one of our many local brands.  Clarios goes to market under a variety of different brands based on the region. These names might be VARTA in Europe and China, LTH in Mexico, Delkor in Korea, MAC in Colombia or Heliar in Brazil with OPTIMA being our global brand.  Although the Clarios name began in 2019, we have a rich history of over 130 years of experience in energy storage batteries.
