"Dongfeng" regatta unveiled in Sanya

On February 26, the “Dongfeng” sailboat was the only one in China to participate in the 2014-2015 Volvo Ocean Race regatta and arrived in Sanya, Hainan, from the UK for the first time. At the same time, the "Dongfeng Team" captain and candidate crew members that have been publicly selected in the world have met with the media. The "Dongfeng" squad, which is exclusively named by the Chinese heavy truck manufacturer and Dongfeng Commercial Vehicle Co., Ltd., will be driven by the "Dongfeng Team" in October this year and will go to the world's top sailing events to help the development of China's ocean-going sailing.

At the debut ceremony of the "Dongfeng" racing boat, more than ten candidate Chinese crew members after several rounds of selection became the focus of attention. Dongfeng Commercial Vehicle Co., Ltd. manages the brand communication business and Qin Jie, the person in charge of the “Dongfeng” project, announced that the top professional sailors recruited by the world and Mr. Charles Goldhieri from France have been appointed captains of “Dongfeng Team”.

Dongfeng Commercial Vehicles join hands with Volvo Ocean Race, which is based on the background of strategic alliance established between Dongfeng Motor Group Co., Ltd. and Volvo Group in January last year. It is an important part of the global market strategy of Dongfeng brand commercial vehicles. Dongfeng Commercial Vehicles will actively participate in the Volvo Ocean Race and will strengthen the relationship between the two partners. The two parties will jointly promote the Dongfeng brand commercial vehicle to become a world-renowned brand.

Huang Gang, general manager of Dongfeng Commercial Vehicle Co., Ltd., said: “The 'Dongfeng' carries the international dream of Dongfeng people and holds the faith of Dongfeng people to realize the 'China's east wind and the world's east wind' strategic goals. Dongfeng Group and the Volvo Group are committed The establishment of the most competitive strategic alliance for commercial vehicles in the world, and accelerating the realization of the commercialization of the Dongfeng brand commercial vehicle, will also assume the responsibility of promoting China's ocean-going sailing business.”

Although offshore sailing has been developed in some of China's coastal cities, China has a long way to go in the field of ocean-going sailing, especially participating in some of the world's top ocean-going sailing competitions. Knut Florestad, CEO of Volvo Ocean Race, said: "The 'Dongfeng Team' will push those Chinese sailors with potential to the stage of international ocean-going sailing. This will greatly promote Chinese sailing. The development has attracted more people to join in this movement. I am very willing to help China to promote the development of ocean-going sailing."

The Volvo Ocean Race will depart from Spain on October 4th this year. It is expected that by the end of June 2015, it will reach the destination in Gothenburg, Sweden. It will cover 39,379 nautical miles and pass through 10 cities around the world. It is expected that at least seven teams from the world's top navigators will participate in the competition.

The regatta was very bright.

Together, they broke the champagne bottle at the bow and completed the bottle throwing ceremony. The guests present also gave the “Dongfeng” blessing.
