DIMO hosted an event to introduce the new Jeep® range to customers and to familiarise them with the brand. The iconic Jeep® brand is recognised the world over and every Jeep® vehicle has a unique story to tell, with a rich heritage that links back to the original Willys MA.
Over 150 customers and their families gathered at the beach event to witness the on and off-road capabilities of Jeep®. The event showcased the 2015 Jeep® Grand Cherokee, the 2015 Jeep® Cherokee, the Jeep® Compass and the ever famous Jeep® Wrangler. A part of the beach stretch was converted on to a test track that tested the Jeep’s capabilities on different terrains such as mud, rock, sand and logs. Customers had the opportunity to test drive the brand new range of Jeep® vehicles as well as their own vehicles on this test track. The day also marked the inauguration of the Jeep Club of Sri Lanka, a club established by likeminded enthusiasts, keen on wandering the wilderness, spreading the wings of freedom while pushing their Jeeps beyond the limit.
DIMO was represented by Ranjith Pandithage, Chairman and Managing Director with his wife as well as Gahanath Pandithage, CEO, Directors of DIMO and other senior management members. Rajeev Pandithage, Head of Jeep® Sales and Parts and Tharanga Gunawardena, Head of Jeep® Service along with members of Jeep® sales, parts and service teams were also present at the event.
