Last week Volkswagen’s key fleet customers got a perfect winter’s day at Sydney Motorsport Park to participate in the 2015 Volkswagen Driving Experience.
Around 60 customers were there and the fleet team at Volkswagen didn’t disappoint. As the day’s host and former Top Gear Australia presenter Steve Pizzati said “It’s the Volkswagen Driving Experience day, not the Volkswagen stand around and watch cars day”.
Attendees were treated to several activities including putting the Amarok through its paces on the 4WD track. But the highlight was getting behind the wheel of the Golf GTi, Golf R and Scirocco R for some hot laps. To make it even better VW provide a USB that was used to record your racing lines from cameras that were mounted on the vehicles.
But it wasn’t just about having fun. The fleet team were hard at work reminding fleet managers and leasing company representatives that they are serious about fleet.
Jonathon Cooper, National Fleet Sales Manager – Commercial Vehicles, said “Days like this are important. Our Commercial Vehicle range performs well and we have a good reputation in that market. The Amarok also gets a lot of attention from fleets”.
“But the Volkswagen Passenger Vehicles are not always top-of-mind for fleet managers when looking for a vehicle to meet their requirements. Though once they put them through their evaluation process our vehicles surprise them with their combination of value and technology”.
