Comments
Mr. Nobuhiro Nakamura, Representative Director, Tabitomo Co., Ltd.
We are deeply honored to have been given the opportunity to be involved in the introduction of the team bus and original wrapped bus as an official partner of Yokohama FC.
We recognize that supporting the transportation of the team members is not just about mere transport, but plays a crucial role in maintaining and improving their condition and enabling them to perform their best.
For this team bus, based on the requests of the players, we adopted 3-row seating, emphasizing comfort and functionality. In addition, we applied a design fitting the club's image, expressing a sense of unity as a force fighting alongside the team.
Furthermore, we have newly introduced an original wrapped bus based on HAMABLUE. We hope that this vehicle, symbolizing the club's color, will become an even more familiar presence for local residents and fans/supporters.
We will continue to prioritize "safety, security, and comfort" and strive for further improvement in operational quality. In addition, these vehicles boast excellent environmental performance, and we believe they hold significant meaning as part of our efforts toward realizing a sustainable society.
Moving forward, we will continue to work with Yokohama FC to promote community-rooted activities and contribute to the development of sports and local society.
Mr. Daishiro Katahara, Representative Director, Yokohama Flügels Sports Club Co., Ltd.
We extend our heartfelt gratitude to Tabitomo Co., Ltd., our official partner, for introducing a total of two buses, the "Yokohama FC Team Bus" and the "Yokohama FC Original Wrapped Bus," which will carry the spirit of Yokohama FC.
These buses introduced by Tabitomo will not only safely transport players to the pitch but also, by traversing the streets of Yokohama, become a "moving symbol" connecting the club and the community. Every time people see these buses in the city, children will dream, and supporters will feel pride. We are very pleased to be able to create such a scene together with Tabitomo.
Tabitomo, which delivers "inspiration" through "travel," and Yokohama FC, which delivers "joy" through "football." With these buses carrying the sentiments of both, we will accelerate to even greater heights.
