High Horsepower, Higher Performance
What happens when you mix elite backup power technology with elite supercar engineering? You get a terrific day of high-octane track action with some of our amazing customers.
UPS Power Solutions (UPSPS) and APC by Schneider Electric hosted our lucky winners at the Hampton Downs Raceway for an exclusive Supercar Drive Day. Qualification for the grid was tight, with guests earning their spots either by securing a premium APC by Schneider Electric Galaxy VS UPS, or by landing one of five lucky wildcard draw spots through APC product purchases.
With our drive team assembled, we got hands-on with top-tier machinery, including a Lamborghini Gallardo Tricolore and an Aston Martin V8 Vantage - taking them to their absolute limits during thrilling hot laps.
Winning as a Team
When it was time for a well-deserved pit-stop at Aoraki Coffee Roasters Café, our crew were delighted to tour Mad Mike's Mad Lab and the Toyota Gazoo Racing's live workshop. Over lunch, guests, partners and the UPSPS team traded track stories, noting that just like a racing team in the pits, seamless collaboration is what ultimately increases the performance and reliability of your power infrastructure.
The event perfectly highlighted UPSPS’ commitment to our ecosystem, demonstrating that while technology drives business, relationships power success. It also served as the perfect platform to introduce our new Managing Director, Pavan Vyas, and new Technical Account Manager, Jason Padarath, to key clients.
Pavan Vyas says business, much like racing, relies on precision, trust, and absolute reliability.
"This Drive Day wasn’t just about horsepower; it was a celebration of the rock-solid relationships we share with our partners and customers. Seeing everyone connect so seamlessly shows the immense value of putting people first," he says.
Customers were also showcased a powerful demonstration of the shared vision between UPS Power Solutions and APC by Schneider Electric. By combining world-class hardware with unmatched local service expertise, the co-hosted day gave both teams a chance to celebrate the channel relationships that keep New Zealand businesses running smoothly.
"A high-performance ecosystem is built on strong alignment and shared goals," says Rachel McBeth, Partner Business Manager at APC by Schneider Electric. "Co-hosting this day with UPS Power Solutions was a fantastic way to directly thank the customers who trust our combined technology and engineering expertise every day."
