Holden is proud to be the driving force behind Netball New Zealand and the Silver Ferns.
In the same way that we strive to create cars that have everyone talking, Holden is passionately committed to working with Netball NZ to get everyone talking about and engaging with the fast-growing, visually-exciting sport of netball.
And Holden is in a great position to do that, with a major involvement in netball on both sides of the Tasman – supporting both the national teams, the highly-successful ANZ Championship, as well as providing vehicle support to regions and club teams.
In today's highly competitive and globally-focused automotive market place, Holden continues to maintain its competitive edge by delivering world-class vehicles that New Zealanders love. We have one of the broadest product ranges of any auto manufacturer in New Zealand – from the zippy Barina, to the family-friendly Captiva, to the much-loved Commodore – and everything in between.
As well as looking after you in the present. Holden has a philosophy for the future. Improving the fuel economy and on-board technology of Holden vehicles in order to reduce greenhouse gas and other emissions is a continuing priority. We're investing in new technologies and developing more alternative fuel vehicles than ever before. Diesel versions of Epica, Astra and Captiva are all available in the showroom as part of our EcoLine range today. These cars are designed to be friendlier on your hip pocket at the bowser, and that's never been more important than now.
We've launched a V8 with Active Fuel Management, which is so intelligent it can shut down four cylinders in certain driving conditions for better fuel efficiency. We're developing engines that run on up to 85% ethanol, and we're constantly improving the heart of the Commodore, making sure that our favourite car will remain that way for many years to come.
As well as providing significant support to netball and motorsport, Holden has built strong community partnerships over the years with organisations that are important to New Zealanders – such as Leukaemia & Blood Foundation and Surf Lifesaving NZ – as well as funding driver safety programmes.
Holden’s Sponsorship and Community Support programme reflects the core company values of integrity, innovation, continuous improvement, teamwork and individual respect and responsibility.
And those values provide us with great synergy for growing our relationship with New Zealand’s leading women’s sport – netball.
