The sponsorship will comprise up to 25 units of BMW X5 Sports Activity Vehicles, which will be deployed to shuttle VIP attendees between 27 to 30 October.

 

“Asia Pacific is a very dynamic region with strong economic growth. It is an area that is subject to important risks of natural and industrial disasters. Therefore, there is a need for solutions to prevent, detect and analyse so as to allow the authorities or heads of companies to find immediate and sustainable solutions. Through this exhibition, our delegates will be introduced to new suppliers and solutions as well as the latest technological developments and innovations in security and rescue domains. As the exhibition will be attended by an unprecedented network of international government and military delegates and industry leaders, it is only right to accord these distinguished guests with a premium chauffeured ride by BMW during their stay,” said Mr Jimmy Lau, Managing Director of COGES ASIA Pte Ltd.  

 

This year, BMW Asia and PML presented a courtesy fleet comprising 25 units of the BMW X5 xDrive35i to Mr. Jimmy Lau.

 

“As the world’s leading premium car brand, BMW is renowned for its excellence in technology, engineering and design, thereby making the brand a befitting partner for a showcase of the latest technological developments and innovations in security and rescue domains like the Asia Pacific Homeland Security 2015,” said Mr. Axel Pannes, Managing Director of BMW Group Asia.

 

“Performance Motors Limited is honoured to be able to provide an unparalleled level of support to ensure the success of Asia Pacific Homeland Security 2015. 25 units of BMW X5 vehicles will be sponsored as official limousines for this elite security event. We are confident that the safety, design, style and cutting-edge technology typical of our BMW vehicles will be appreciated by the chauffeured VIP guests during this high-level significant occasion,” said Mr. Simon Rock, Country Managing Director of Performance Motors Ltd.
