SHANGHAI, Dec. 13,
2016 /PRNewswire/ -- eHi Car Services Limited ("eHi" or the
"Company") (NYSE: EHIC), one of the leading car rental and car
services providers in China, today
announced that two-time NBA MVP and three-time NBA All-Star
Stephen Curry will serve as the
Company's new brand ambassador.
Having entered the NBA in 2009, the first-ever
unanimous NBA MVP Stephen Curry quickly rose to prominence as one
of the league's top ranking point guards. His signing with eHi
makes him the Company's first brand ambassador from the NBA. With
his high name recognition among Chinese fans, Curry will work
alongside eHi to help promote the Company's reputation in
China via a series of marketing
activities and basketball events held over the duration of their
multi-year agreement.
"We are thrilled to be welcoming Stephen to the
eHi team," said Ray Zhang, eHi's
Chairman and CEO. "Thanks to his diligent work ethic and
uncompromising dedication, he has risen above the rest to become
one of the sport's most successful and influential players; and
these are precisely the same qualities that enable us to provide
Chinese consumers with unrivalled car rental service experiences
since our establishment just over a decade ago."
"Over the past several years, I have had the
great opportunity to travel to China and learn more about the culture and NBA
fan base there," Curry said. "I am excited to be partnering with
eHi as I continue to further connect with my passionate fans in
China."
The Company has recently announced an official
marketing partnership with NBA China.
