"We are grateful to BMW for their strong support of the APEC 2009 meetings hosted by Singapore. BMW's provision of a fleet of 295 limousines to the Organising Committee will enable us to provide our VIPs with a comfortable mode of transportation during their stay in Singapore. We are also confident of an excellent working relationship with BMW Asia Limited, given their previous experiences in meeting the transportation requirements of other high-profile events such as the IMF/World Bank Singapore 2006 Meeting as well as the ASEAN Economic Ministers Meetings and the ASEAN Summit in 2007", said Mr Aloysius Arlando, Executive Director, APEC Singapore 2009 Organising Committee.

Mr Johannes Seibert, Managing Director of BMW Group Asia said, "BMW has a long history of excellence in terms of engineering and technology. We have a successful history in producing top of class vehicles and we are pleased to support their premier global conference with two of our top performing luxury models.

"We are confident that the delegates from 21 member economies will find our BMW 7 Series and 5 Series a very comfortable and safe mode of transport throughout their stay here. Our participation in several high profile meetings in Singapore demonstrates our ability to undertake the important role of providing essential logistical support on a massive scale for key events and we look forward to repeating that achievement in our support for Singapore's hosting of APEC 2009"

Working closely with long-term partner, Performance Motors, BMW Group Asia will also provide drivers, driver training and technical support to ensure that the transportation for the delegates go smoothly.
