Visit to the Pobeda Vkusa’s chocolate factory

Estonian journalists visited Pobeda Vkusa’s factory near Moscow in Jegorjevsky to see how Pobeda Vkusa’s chocolate is produced.

The factory belongs to a family company started in 2000 and is owned by Vitali and Olga Muravjov. The company sources their raw materials from Africa (Provincial Lagoon and Ghana) to produce the best quality sweets made from natural cocoa. Pobeda Vkusa has two factories in Russia and one in Latvia with more than 1500 employees. The factory near Moscow produces 60 tonnes of chocolate daily.

Pobeda’s sweets are also available in Estonia – in Stockmann, R-kiosk, the Baltic Station Market and many other places. In Nomine recommends Pobeda’s truffles, these are certainly the best Pobeda has to offer!

New Dacia Duster – International test ride in Riga

Baltic car journalists (Latvian, Lithuanian and Estonian) were invited to try the new Dacia Duster in Jurmala, Latvia. The test drives took place on the 13th and 14th of March.

The early spring weather conditions provided challenging driving conditions. It was a great opportunity to see what the new Dacia Duster can do.

Journalists had the opportunity to compare the previous Dacia Duster with the new asphalt road to see how the car’s driving characterics have evolved. The rainy weather and the slippery surface made the comparison even more pronounced.

After two days of hard testing in different conditions and landscapes a conclusion was reached – the new Dacia Duster has maintained a special look and all the right features of the previous model, while improving the off-roading capabilities. The new Dacia Duster has relied on the best of the previous model and has made great improvements in almost all areas while maintaining a shockingly affordable price.

Itella’s adventurous 80s’ themed day at cape Purekkar

In Nomine held an 80s’ themed active day for Itella, an international logistics company on International Children’s Day. Despite bad weather we started at the northernmost tip of Estonia, at cape Purekkari. There we ran into the jolly SKUUP food caravan and the artist Priit Öövel.

Our journey continued at the former submarine degaussing station at Hara harbour where in addition to an eventful tour we received helpful tips how to go camping with your car.
The evening culminated with a lovely performance by the Ilves Sisters and the fashion designer of Baltika. Valkla Scandinavian-style beach restaurant was host to a delicious dinner.

Renault estate cars lined up

The 28th of April was a grand day at the A Le Coq Arena. We lined up Renault estate cars, the Talisman Grandtour, the Megane Grandtour and the Clio Grandtour, and determined which car could pack the most stuff.

We used ordinary but clunky items to pack in the three cars. For example, there were three different size bicycles, an exercise ball, a large gym bag and a pair of skis. Estonians appreciate practicality above all else in their cars and that is backed up by the cars on our roads.

All of the three Renault models are available in sedan and estate body shapes but half of them are bought in the latter configuration. The affinity for small cars that is present in larger, more congested European cities, has not yet reached Estonia.

The Estonian Football Association’s car fleet consists exclusively of Renault models which is why the press event took place at the Arena.

The three Renault’s boot space is as follows: the Clio Grandtour has 445 litres of boot space which grows to 1380 litres with the back seats reclined. The Megane Grandtour has an impressive 521 litres of boot capacity and 1504 litres with the rear seats reclined. Lastly, The boot of the Talisman Grandtour can fit 572 litres of items and the number grows to 1621 litres with the rear seats laid flat.

The 10th of April was a special day. The Viking FSTR, a catamaran for passengers and vehicles started servicing the Tallinn-Helsinki route. The Viking FSTR can make the voyage in 1 hour and 45 minutes.

The first passengers were greeted at the Port of Tallinn by a brass band, Inno Borodenko, the director of Viking Line Estonia and Margus Vihman, a member of the board of the Port of Tallinn.

After the inital proceedings, In Nomine employees and journalists were given the opportunity to further acquaint themselves with the catamaran. A small Q&A followed, where attendees could ask questions about the ship from the captain and the shipowner.

DKV race day at the auto24ring
