In a captivating display of corporate responsibility and innovation, Mandela Group of Companies, under its renowned Linglong Tire brand, has wrapped up its transformative electric car giveaway campaign. The grand finale saw Kyeyune Godfrey, a teacher, mechanical engineer, and transport entrepreneur, crowned the third and final winner of a cutting-edge electric vehicle.
This ambitious campaign, launched in July 2024, aimed to reward loyal customers while championing sustainable mobility. The final draw unfolded on January 16, 2025, at Mandela Group’s Industrial Area headquarters, with the ceremonial handover held two days later at the City Oil branch in Kamwokya.
Revolutionizing Customer Engagement
Participants entered the campaign by purchasing at least two Linglong tires or availing of services at any City Oil outlet. With three state-of-the-art electric cars up for grabs, the initiative sparked widespread excitement and reinforced Mandela Group’s unwavering commitment to innovation.
The event in Kamwokya was graced by high-profile guests, including Linglong Tire Executive Director Wang from China and Mandela Group Chairman Omar Mandela. Their presence underscored the campaign’s significance, both locally and globally.
A Grateful Winner’s Perspective
Kyeyune Godfrey, an ardent supporter of Mandela Group for over a decade, expressed heartfelt appreciation for their transparency and exemplary customer service.
“Winning this car is a dream come true. Unlike other campaigns I’ve encountered, this one was transparent and genuinely rewarding. Mandela Group’s hospitality and quality services have made them my go-to partner in the transport industry for years,” Kyeyune shared with palpable excitement.
While the car’s delivery awaits final logistical arrangements, Kyeyune’s joy and trust in the Mandela brand remain unshaken.
The Marvel of Electric Mobility
The awarded vehicle is a testament to the future of transportation, boasting a range of over 300 kilometers on a single charge. Home charging requires approximately 8 hours, while advanced stations like the one at City Oil Kamwokya slash this time to an impressive 30 minutes.
Recognizing the necessity for robust infrastructure, City Oil, in collaboration with the Ugandan government, is pioneering the establishment of a national network of electric vehicle charging stations, ensuring seamless adoption of sustainable mobility solutions.
Setting a Precedent for Excellence
Mandela Group’s groundbreaking initiative epitomizes the perfect fusion of innovation, sustainability, and customer appreciation. By delivering on their promise, the group has set a new standard for corporate campaigns, leaving an indelible mark on Uganda’s journey toward eco-conscious development.
As the Linglong Tire campaign concludes, its legacy of rewarding loyalty while driving environmental progress remains a glowing beacon of corporate excellence, inspiring others to follow suit.
