Leading the future of
electromobility
With the grand opening of its new
Porsche Centre in 2021, QAF Prestige
also had the honour to bring in
the Porsche Taycan to the nation.
Leading the charge into a new era
of electromobility, Porsche Centre
Brunei is the first dealership in the
country to be equipped with charging
infrastructure, high-voltage battery
repair capabilities and dealer charging
facility.
The Government of Brunei Darussalam
has set a goal to reduce carbon
emissions by 20 per cent by 2030,
and one way to achieve this would be
to encourage the adoption of electric
vehicles (EVs). The Porsche Taycan was
introduced with the hope of changing
the automotive industry in the
country towards a more progressive
and innovative approach as EVs are
becoming increasingly notable as a
way to reduce carbon emissions and
dependence on fossil fuels.
While the country’s adoption of EVs
may be limited in the short term, QAF
Prestige is hopeful that efforts to build
the necessary infrastructure will drive
the normalisation of EVs in Brunei in
the future.
2023 and beyond
The company is constantly seeking out
new ways to drive positive change and
leave a lasting legacy. Whether through
a cutting-edge luxurious sports car,
strategic partnerships, or philanthropic
endeavours, QAF Prestige aims to be a
positive dynamic in the world.
One key goal for QAF Prestige with
this new endeavour is to provide an
unrivalled and notable luxury sports
car experience that are to be expected
for its customers. The focus will not
only be on retail ordeals, but most
importantly to build lasting beneficial
and trustworthy relationships between
the company and its customers.
QAF Prestige also aspires to further
empower its employees to bring
their unique perspectives and ideas
to the table, encouraging them to
think creatively about how they can
contribute to a greater purpose.
Offering a range of opportunities for
personal and professional growth,
people will always come first for QAF
Prestige. Economic success and social
responsibility go hand-in-hand, and
this includes managing customers’
expectations and meeting employees’
satisfactions. Sustainability and social
responsibility are also integral to QAF
Prestige’s business practices. The
company is committed to reducing
its environmental impact and strives
to make a positive difference, which
includes leading the electromobility
progress in Brunei.
Customers and Porsche enthusiasts
can look forward to a thrilling line up
of launches this year, including the 911
Dakar, 911 GT3 RS, 718 style edition, and
later in the year, the new Cayenne. DC
charging network will also be launched
at Porsche Centre Brunei this year
where all Porsche EV owners can enjoy
fast charging at their convenience.
Porsche is the brand for those who are
driven by dreams, and QAF Prestige
is here to craft inspiring moments of
luxury sports car experience.
“Inspiring moments of luxury sports car
experience.”
