Hyundai and Springboks Unite for Rugby Excellence

The Hyundai Springboks partnership marks a significant milestone for SA Rugby, as Hyundai Automotive South Africa expands its collaboration to include the Springboks, Springbok Women, and Springbok Sevens men’s and women’s teams. Announced on Thursday, this four-year agreement not only builds on Hyundai’s earlier role as the official vehicle partner for South Africa’s junior national teams but also encompasses Youth Week rugby tournaments. This extended partnership, themed “United by Rugby. Driven by Hyundai,” clearly promises to elevate both brands through their shared values of excellence and innovation.

Stanley Anderson, CEO of Hyundai Automotive South Africa, echoed this sentiment, emphasising the synergy in the Hyundai and Springboks alliance. “This powerful alliance brings together two iconic brands, each known for strength, excellence, innovation and reliability,” Anderson said. He highlighted the honour of partnering with the reigning Rugby World Cup champions, who have clinched the title four times. Hyundai’s commitment includes providing a fleet of award-winning vehicles to transport players, staff, and equipment efficiently and safely.

Driving the Springboks Forward

The partnership between Hyundai and the Springboks provides SA Rugby with access to Hyundai’s stylish and cutting-edge vehicles, effectively meeting the organisation’s logistical demands.
