Kia Motors President Mr MK Kim has officially presented the fleet of more than 100 specially-equipped Kia Australian Open courtesy vehicles to Tennis Australia CEO Steve Wood today at Melbourne Park.

“Kia demonstrates fabulous support for the players,” Wood said at the presentation, which took place outside Rod Laver Arena just after midday.

“They take very good care of the players, strengthening an already great relationship by transporting them and providing excellent service with friendly drivers. Kia brings customer service to a new level.”

The fleet of 101 Kia vehicles is the largest ever to be presented since the motor company became a sponsor of the Australian Open in 2002.

Now the major sponsor of the tournament, Wood said Kia’s support helps to ensure the Australian Open remains “the players’ favourite (Grand Slam) of the year.”
