Kia New Zealand has announced that it has renewed its partnership with the Halberg Foundation; a partnership that has been running for more than a decade.
The latest iteration of Kia’s commitment to the sporting body will see it provide them with 10 fully electric Niro SUVs.
The Halberg Foundation works to make sport more accessible to physically disabled youth, through programmes like Halberg Inclusion Training and the national Halberg Games.
“We are incredibly proud to have such a longstanding partnership with the Halberg Foundation, an organisation which does so much good for people in the community,” says Kia New Zealand managing director Todd McDonald.
“Our support started in 2009 and is now entering its 13th year, which is Kia’s longest continuous partnership here in New Zealand.
“We are humbled to know that our involvement helps with the work of the Foundation, in turn helping people with disabilities to share in the love of sport.
“Sport is one of the healthiest pastimes people can participate in, so supplying a fleet of electric vehicles with zero tailpipe emissions is complementary to these endeavours.”
“We are grateful for Kia’s ongoing support, as keeping our team mobile is pivotal to the success of the organisation and what we’re able to achieve through connecting with communities around New Zealand,” adds interim chief executive of the Halberg Foundation, Anne-Maree Broom.
“Being able to travel in Electric Vehicles is incredibly important to ensure we are supporting a sustainable environment. This complements our sustainable health outcomes through being active.”
