Hong Kong, 1 September 2026
The 2027 Hong Kong Dragon World Championship today announced XPENG as its Official Mobility Partner, supporting event operations and elevating the on-ground experience for teams, officials, partners, and invited guests throughout the championship period.
Set against Hong Kong’s iconic harbour, the championship celebrates world-class one-design racing on the sea, where precision, teamwork, and performance under pressure define success. This November, that spirit of progress extends beyond the water as XPENG brings a bold “Land, Sea and Air” mobility theme to the event, including the showcase of its newest electric vehicle models and a cutting-edge flying vehicle concept.
The Dragon Class has long been at the forefront of innovation, balancing heritage and craftsmanship with a constant drive to improve performance and the athlete experience. In that tradition, the Organising Committee is proud to partner with leading innovators in the region, welcoming XPENG to the championship’s official partner lineup.
“The Dragon fleet is rooted in tradition, but it has always embraced innovation,” said Ken Wong, on behalf of the 2027 Hong Kong Dragon World Championship Organising Committee. “We’re proud to welcome XPENG as our Official Mobility Partner. In sailing, performance is shaped by efficiency, aerodynamics and flow, principles that also sit at the heart of XPENG’s engineering. It’s a partnership that brings together leading-edge technology and a shared commitment to more sustainable mobility.”
“XPENG is pleased to partner with the 2027 Hong Kong Dragon World Championship as Official Mobility Partner,” said Jerry Tam, General Manager, APAC New Emerging Markets, XPENG. “The Dragon Class represents elite performance and precision, where efficiency, control and intelligent decision-making make the difference, much like in advanced mobility engineering. We look forward to supporting the championship in Hong Kong and sharing a glimpse of what’s next through the showcase of our latest EV models and flying vehicle technology.”
