Å koda Auto teams up with Tour de France for Sixth Consecutive Year
This is why the 96th Tour de France, the world's most famous cycling competition, is again going to be supported by ? koda Auto, for the sixth consecutive year. With 20 teams on the start line, this legendary race starts this Saturday, 4 July, in Monaco and, as usual, is going to end on the Champs-?‰lys?©es in Paris.
This year ? koda Auto is going to stage a French market premiere of the Yeti, its latest model – altogether ten Yetis are going to be part of the TdF advertising convoy, an integral part of each stage of the event.
In total, the Tour de France is going to see about 350 ? koda vehicles in action this year, most of which (about 250) are going to be used by the competition organisers as the TdF official vehicles. Furthermore, ? koda is going to provide its vehicles to altogether eight professional teams - Silence-Lotto (Belgium), Saxo Bank – IT Factory (Denmark), Rabobank (Netherlands), Euskaltel-Euskadi (Spain), Cofidis (France), Fran?‡aise des JEUX (France), Cervelo (Switzerland) and Milram (Germany), plus Shimano and Ma
Commenting on the strategy of the Company's partnership with the Tour de France, Head of Corporate Communications Martin Lauer says: “Basically, there are two pillars on which ? koda builds its international corporate sponsorship communication strategies – ice-hockey and cycling, two sports that efficiently complement each other in terms of covering the respective European markets and are seen as very powerful tools employed to enhance brand awareness, the product image, as well as brand and product visibility.
Cycling offers great opportunities of presenting ? koda vehicles in the very heart of the competition where they are in close contact with racers, fans and potential buyers. Continuity in this aspect is very important, and we also appreciate the organisers' efforts to expand TdF, the tip of the cycling glacier, to other countries, such as Spain and Switzerland where the Tour is also going to appear this year“.
I hope Skoda Auto would grant the Middle East and North Africa more attention similar Europe, as some models like the Superb, the Roomster (and soon to be the Yeti) and the Fabia could have been best-sellers in the big markets like Saudi Arabia, Egypt, UAE and Kuwait.
