The Great Wall Steed SE is the official partner vehicle for the UK City of Culture 2013, Londonderry.<\/p><\/div>\n

The Great Wall Steed SE has been chosen as the official Vehicle Partner to the UK’s City of Culture 2013<\/a>, which is Derry<\/a> — or Londonderry — in Northern Ireland.<\/p>\n

With more than one million people expected to attend events in the historic walled city in Northern Ireland during the year, the Steeds will be essential for transporting artists and their equipment, as well as media and guests between the many venues and events.<\/p>\n

Great Wall has supplied two co-branded Steed SE pick-ups, which will be used to facilitate logistics for the many events planned to celebrate Derry~Londonderry\u2019s UK City of Culture status, and as part of the agreement Great Wall will also provide additional vehicles to help carry the load during peak times in the schedule.<\/p>\n

Sarah Hughes, Sponsorship Manager for the City of Culture, commented:<\/p>\n

\u201cThis vehicle partnership with Great Wall provides essential support to our logistics operations. \u00a0From transporting drum kits and amplifiers to marketing materials and key personnel, Great Wall\u2019s Steed SE is the perfect workhorse for our purposes, offering high load and passenger capacity, excellent durability and a comfortable ride.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The Great Wall Steed SE<\/a> is the UK\u2019s best-value high specification 4×4 double-cab pick-up. With a load capacity of 1,050kg, a spacious cargo bay measuring 138cm x 146cm x 48cm (length, width, depth) and features including a body-coloured hard-top canopy, rear parking sensors and a cargo load-liner, the two five-seater Steed SE\u2019s are perfectly suited for the challenging job.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe strategic vehicle partnership with Culture Company 2013 \u00a0is a fantastic opportunity for Great Wall to work exclusively with the City of Culture and support the many exciting events taking place in Derry~Londonderry,\u201d said Neville Mathews, Managing Director of Great Motor in Ireland. \u00a0\u201cThe demanding schedule will demonstrate the Steed SE\u2019s considerable strengths to the full. With excellent build quality and reliability, copious load capacity, generous equipment levels and excellent fuel economy for its class, the Steed SE will show it is more than equal to the task.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

All Great Wall\u2019s vehicles benefit from the \u2018Great Wall Promise\u2019, which includes inflation-proof servicing plans, a six-year anti-perforation warranty, three-year paint warranty, three-year roadside assistance and free service pick-up and drop-off.\u00a0 Great Wall recently announced an extended six-year\/125,000 mile warranty (special offer valid from 1\/4\/13 to 30\/6\/13) on all Steeds purchased in the UK, underlining the company\u2019s confidence in the Steed.<\/p>\n

All Steeds feature Great Wall\u2019s 2.0-litre 16-valve turbocharged diesel powerplant that delivers class-leading fuel economy, making it one of the most economical pick-ups currently available on the UK market (34.0 mpg combined), as well as a low-range gearbox and an \u2018on-demand\u2019 four-wheel-drive system that can be selected by the driver when needed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
