Volkswagen Passenger Cars Malaysia (VPCM) has announced that national track cycling hero, Dato’ Azizulhasni Awang, will be the first-ever brand ambassador for the Volkswagen brand in Malaysia.
Hailing from Terengganu and known globally as “The Pocket Rocketman,” Azizulhasni has earned many major achievements under his belt, including a silver medal in the Keirin event at the 2020 Tokyo Summer Olympics. As the new brand ambassador, Azizulhasni will be featured in the German carmaker’s upcoming campaigns, events, and digital content.
“Azizul’s story is one of extraordinary ambition, agility and drive. Much like our cars, he represents performance that is purposeful and enduring. He is not just a champion on the track — he’s a role model off it. We are honoured to have him as part of the Volkswagen family,” said VPCM Managing Director, Renate Noessler.
“This partnership goes beyond traditional brand endorsements. It reflects a deep connection with Malaysians who value performance, integrity, and long-term confidence in what they drive,” she added.
Commenting on his appointment as brand ambassador, Azizulhasni hopes that this will inspire Malaysians to go further and take on challenges. “I’ve always believed that success is built on consistency, detail and the courage to take on challenges — values that align perfectly with Volkswagen,” said Azizulhasni.
“To be chosen as their first ambassador is a true honour. This partnership isn’t just about cars or cycling — it’s about inspiring Malaysians to go further, faster and never settle,” he added.
