A number of Volvo vehicles, with OCBC Cycle Singapore 2012 branding, will be on the roads in Singapore to promote the event in the build up to 2nd to 4th March. Volvo will also provide a fleet of 7-seater Volvo XC90 SUVs and V70 luxury wagons for the transportation of VIPs and professional cyclists throughout the event week.

“Volvo has always been a strong supporter of sporting events; hence, we are certainly pleased and privileged to be part of such a renowned experience. With our Volvo XC90 and V70 reflecting common athletic traits of dynamic performance, agility and excellence, their presence at the event will help to echo the vigour of the OCBC Cycle Singapore 2012”, said Mr Victor Kwan, General Manager, Wearnes Automotive Pte Ltd (Volvo).

In addition, Volvo will run a unique promotion whereby the cars will be sold to the public prior to the Professional Criterium on Friday, 2 March.
