VOLVO announce sustainable partnership with 29er Europeans Copenhagen

The Royal Danish Yacht Club welcomes Volvo Cars and Via Biler as the main sponsor at the 29er European Championship held in Rungsted. The collaboration will make it possible for the event to reduce the carbon footprint even further by escorting all officials back and forth to the harbor with 100% electrical cars.

 

“This partnership with Volvo shows that we are working on making every corner of this championship sustainable – also when it comes to our partners”, says Bjarne Patuel, Shore Officer at the Royal Danish yacht Club. “Volvo’s electrical cars help us reach our high sustainability goals for this event, which makes this collaboration valuable in many aspects for us,” he says.

 

Volvo Car Denmark comments on their engagement at the 29er European Championship: ”Volvo Car Denmark has supported sailing for many years and has been engaged in several sports events in Denmark. The Royal Danish Yacht Club is a club with a long, glories history and therefore it is natural for us to support the Europeans for 29er in Rungsted. Volvo Cars likewise has some ambitious sustainability goals and already in 2030 the company shall produce electrical cars only. This is why we are glad to present our two 100% electrical models on the harbor in Rungsted, where our collaboration partner, Volvo Via Biler will be on site to talk more about the cars’ important features,”.

 

Via Biler provides a 100% electrical 4-wheeldrive car, that can tow 1.500 kg to support daily errands for sailors and officials. “By showing the sailing World that electrical cars are now strong enough to tow trailers on the ramp and drive for longer distances we hopefully influence sailors and parents to invest in the more sustainable choice when buying a car in the future,” says Bjarne Patuel, Shore Officer at the Royal Danish yacht Club.

 

Volvo’s different electrical cars will be exhibited every day at the championship’s site area and by request it will be possible to test drive them as well.
